OTTAWA — Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who presided over the talks that led to a new North American free trade deal, urged the opposition parties to get on with enshrining the revamped pact into law in order to provide certainty after years of turmoil.
Freeland kicked off debate on a bill to implement the new deal by saying it was time for Canada to join the U.S. and Mexico by ratifying the deal.
The “new NAFTA” preserves the core of the existing North American Free Trade Agreement while improving parts of it that affect numerous Canadian industries, Freeland said.
