Canadian provincial premiers are urging the federal government to prioritize securing a strong trade agreement with the United States rather than rushing to meet the looming August 1 deadline.
Leaders from Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and New Brunswick emphasized that getting the best possible deal for Canadians is more important than adhering to a strict timeline. Key sticking points include tariffs, supply management, and protections for the French language. The consensus among premiers is that a rushed agreement could compromise important national interests.
The premiers have collectively encouraged Prime Minister Trudeau to hold out for favorable terms, even if it means missing the deadline.
