Liberals get NDP support to fast-track NAFTA bill through committee

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Chrystia Freeland speaks with the media before Question Period on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Tuesday February 18, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldOTTAWA -- The minority Liberal government has found a dance partner to see that the implementation bill for the renegotiated NAFTA deal gets expedited through the House of Commons: the NDP.

This backing—and a commitment to support passing the deal when it comes for its final vote in the House—is the result of a deal that the NDP's export promotion and international trade critic Daniel Blaikie says is in the works with the Liberals. Blaikie said that while the new NAFTA is not the deal the NDP would have signed on to if it were a part of the often acrimonious negotiations prompted by U.S. President Donald Trump, it was improved by the Democrats in advance of their domestic ratification process.

On Tuesday the House International Trade Committee also agreed to invite the House Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee; the House Industry, Science and Technology Committee; and House Natural Resources Committee to study portions of the deal that pertain to their expertise, and report back to them with any suggested changes by Feb. 28.
