Trade Changes USMCA

Really Grassfarmer...

Do some research; when did Harper give away market access?

Or do you only correct spelling errors?

I was referring to the Harper Government giving access to 3.25% of the Canadian market for dairy agreed to during the negotiation of the TPP agreement. This was on top of the 2% conceded during the CETA agreement negotiations.

Where do you see Harper’s signature?
Trump pulled out after he was elected.
Keep spouting the NDP & NFU dogma.

Trudeau and the rest of the Cabinet were sworn in by Governor General David Johnston on November 4, 2015.

Justin Trudeau traveled to Brussels on 30 October 2016 to sign CETA on behalf of Canada. The European Parliament approved the deal on 15 February 2017. CETA entered into force provisionally on 21 September 2017. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau marked the European Parliament's passing of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), hailing it as a potential model for future trade deals while addressing the concerns of those who opposed it.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a defunct proposed trade agreement between Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, and United States signed on 4 February 2016, which was not ratified as required and did not take effect. The other 11 TPP countries agreed in May 2017 to revive it and reached agreement in January 2018. In March 2018, the 11 countries signed the revised version of the agreement, called Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Oh yeah, I forgot he got booted out of office before he could sign either deal. His administration negotiated away the market access figures I quoted on both deals however. The facts stand.
