“Our plan is to double our trade with countries other than the United States over the next ten years. We are also reviewing our trade deal with the U.S. and Mexico, and working to build better trade deals with other countries.”
“Mr. Speaker, our strategy is actually to double non-U.S. trade over the next 10 years and to continue working on the CUSMA review, as the minister is doing. I will also say that, in the meantime, we are building trade relationships with Indonesia, China, India, Mexico and Brazil. We are looking forward to an FTA with the ASEAN in 2026 and working on Mercosur as well. That is what working for the Canadian public is all about. That is what building Canada strong means.”
