Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his country’s government will introduce a motion to approve the USMCA when Parliament resumes January 27. He says they’ll then introduce legislation to ratify it two days later. Canadian Cattlemen Association’s Director of Government and International Relations John Masswohl says the introduction is the first step but he expects quick passage.
He says the chances of USMCA passage are good because both parties back the agreement.
Masswohl says once Canada ratifies the pact, then it’ll be this spring when it’s finally completed by all three nations.
Trudeau’s government had been waiting for the United States to formally ratify the deal before introducing its own bill. Mexico approved the agreement in June.
