OTTAWA — The federal government has moved forward in Parliament with the ratification of the new North American free-trade agreement as the legislative clock ticks towards a summer adjournment and fall election.
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled a Ways and Means motion in the House of Commons this afternoon to lay the groundwork for ratifying the new pact.
Freeland says the full lifting of the U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs on Canadian imports has paved the way for formal approval of the new deal.
