Why trade is in Canada’s interest

Canada and the European Union (EU) are deep in negotiations on a trade agreement (CETA) that would link our two economies. Today is also the day that the friends of CETA have fanned out across the country to tell the story of the agreement and why Canada should want an agreement on free trade with the largest trading bloc in the world. Jason Langrish (ED of the Canada Europe Roundtable for Business) and I  kick off the festivities in today’s Globe and Mail in an op-ed laying out the case why free trade is in the national interest, including free trade with Europe.
