Quebec Trade Rep Urges Canada to Counter US View It’s Stalling Trade Talks

Canada needs to act quickly to push back on a growing belief in Washington that it’s dragging its feet on trade talks, according to the Quebec government’s representative in those negotiations.

Louise Blais, who was appointed last month as Quebec’s envoy for the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement review, said that “an impression has set in, in DC — for right or wrong — that Canada is looking elsewhere, and that we’re slow-walking this.”
