Conservative Statement on the New NAFTA

OTTAWA,
ON – The Hon. Erin O’Toole, Conservative Shadow
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Randy Hoback, Shadow Minister for
International Trade, issued the following statement on the new NAFTA deal:

“Yesterday, the Official Opposition received a briefing on the new NAFTA
deal signed by the Trudeau government on behalf of Canada.

“While US representatives and the NAFTA advisory council were briefed as
the deal was being finalized, the government did not afford opposition parties
the same courtesy. The Liberals do not yet seem to recognize the realities of
the new minority parliament and are mistaken if they believe that we will
simply rubber stamp the deal.

“During yesterday’s briefing, Conservatives sought specific clarifications
regarding the impact of the new deal on key Canadian sectors, including
aluminum, auto and agriculture, which the Liberal government was unable to
provide at that time. A formal request for information has been made and we
expect the government to provide it. 

“Canada’s Conservatives are the party of free trade and we want to support
market access and business certainty while also preforming our democratic duty
to review this deal and its impact carefully.”
