NAFTA

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is promising close collaboration with the premiers throughout negotiations to overhaul the North American Free Trade Agreement.

It may mean trouble for Canada's ability to shield sensitive information such as health or financial data from the prying eyes of foreign agencies by storing it in computer servers on Canadian soil.

A high-level dinner of cabinet members from Canada, the U.S. and Mexico will mark the start of NAFTA negotiations this month.

Enhanced labour mobility is high on the list of goals for the Canadian government as it gears up for next month's start of negotiations on a renewed North American Free Trade Agreement.

Canadian officials are praising a U.S. decision to drop a contentious border tax proposal, suggesting its death signals an open-mindedness in the Trump administration on open borders and free trade.

Premier John Horgan is in Washington D.C. for two days of meetings with Trump administration's top trade officials, where he intends to press to resolve the softwood lumber trade dispute.

Any renewal of the North American Free Trade Agreement will have to include a fair process to resolve disputes, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said.

The Liberal government has put a lot of effort into travelling to the United States to help ease the way into the NAFTA negotiations, but so far, a relatively small amount of money.

No amount of coincidental colour co-ordination or unified political messaging could camouflage the elephant in the room: the Kinder Morgan pipeline.

The federal New Democrats want the prime minister to appear before an emergency meeting of the international trade committee to disclose the Liberals' priorities for NAFTA negotiations.

Liberal-Tory common front on NAFTA negotiations frayed by Khadr quarrel.

Canada's ambassador to the United States says he is pushing hard for a timely resolution on the NAFTA renegotiation, but he won't accept a bad deal to get it.

The Trump administration has released its broad goals for a new NAFTA in mostly vague language that offers just enough specific clues to point to potentially tough negotiations ahead.

The Trudeau government is extending public consultations to find out what Canadians want to see in a new North American Free Trade Agreement.

After campaigning and complaining about NAFTA for two years, Donald Trump is about to start doing some explaining.
