The possibility of the new NAFTA ratification process extending into the summer, resulting in a pre-election recall of the House cannot be excluded, says minister Marc Garneau.

In an interview on CTV’s Question Period, Transport Minister Marc Garneau was asked if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would consider recalling the House over the summer in order to wrap up ratification before the fall election campaign.

“We can’t predict how the ratification will go forward, we certainly hope that all of the parties in the House of Commons will support this deal. It is a good deal… but we’ll see how things unfold,” Garneau said. It includes the legislative amendments needed to apply the new trade rules, but leaves the government some wiggle room so that it can ensure the text is aligned with whatever comes out of ongoing ratification processes in the United States and Mexico.

The New Democrats, on the other hand, voted against a motion that allowed the bill to be tabled so it is yet to be seen if they’ll back Bill C-100.

New NAFTA bill to be tabled soon, PM promises to keep pace with U.S. ratificationPrime Minister Justin Trudeau is poised to table the legislation to implement the renegotiated NAFTA deal, within days and is set to push ahead on trying to pass the major trilateral trade deal in the dying days of this Parliament. Considering Canada can't even get the new name right, doubt this will get anywhere. FreelandNeedsToGo It’s a shit deal that greatly benefits America, not Canada. Way to completely shit the bed when it comes to standing up for Canada JustinTrudeau! The Democrats told him again to drag his feet, so Doofus complies. Democrats don't want anything done till after election time, 'Resist at all costs' is the motto of the Democrats. We saw what happened the last time Doofus did this, with NAFTA. Trump force fed USMCA to us.

White House wanted warship USS John McCain out of Trump’s view during Japan visit, sources sayTwo U.S. officials said a paint barge was in front of the USS John S. McCain on Saturday morning when 7th Fleet officials walked the pier to see how everything looked for the visit That's because they knew if he saw it, he'd rename it to USS Donald Trump before the end of the day. All three McCains served their country. Trumpo is a cowardly draft dodger . I'm shocked the Navy would go along with this disgusting act. If Trump saw the ship, he will order an attack on Japan.
