Statement on Canada-U.S. Trade Talks

The news that an agreement between Canada and the United States could not be reached is disappointing. Trade wars leave businesses, workers and consumers on both sides of the border worse off. This development reinforces the urgent need to build a stronger economy here at home by attracting investment, advancing major projects and expanding Canada’s access to global markets. 

We remain hopeful that a good agreement for Canada can be reached in the days ahead, providing businesses with the certainty they need to invest, hire and grow.
