Global Affairs reports ‘good progress’ in talks with South American trading bloc
International Trade Diversification Minister Jim Carr’s office says Canada will continue its trade negotiations with Mercosur, the South American trading bloc that includes Brazil, despite demands to call a halt to the talks until more action is taken to protect the Amazon rainforest.
On Friday, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh called on the Trudeau government to follow the lead of countries like France and Ireland, which are refusing to support the ratification of the European Union’s trade agreement with Mercosur because of Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro’s failure to respond to international concerns about the global environmental impact of deforestation.
