No urgency to ratify new trade deal, says Chrystia Freeland

Canada's Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland attends a news conference in Dinard, France, April 5, 2019.Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said Canada is in no rush to ratify the new trade deal with Mexico and the United States, given that North American free trade under the existing NAFTA deal remains in place.

“In those instances, those were new agreements and Canadians were able to enjoy the benefits only upon ratification. NAFTA is an entirely different situation. We as Canadians are enjoying the benefits of NAFTA every day,” she said. “The Canadian objective from the outset has been to maintain Canada’s privileged access to the U.S. market, which is so valuable to all Canadians.

“We are certainly constantly looking at ways to refresh the retaliation list and this is standard practice in any sort of trade dispute. When you have a retaliation in place it is standard and appropriate to be looking at whether you have the right items included in that list,” said Ms. Freeland.
