The Harper government has announced to soon launch a major deal agreed with the European Union, as it attempts to sell Canadians on the benefits of the new free trade deal. However, it will still take months for the public to see fine print of the agreement. International Trade Minister, Ed Fast, alleged that Canada and the EU are still hammering out a legal text that reflects the details of the deal clinched last week.
Mr. Fast mentioned in a statement that “We expect to have a draft text available in the coming months when we’ll make it available to the public so the public can see that the outline and the summary we’ve provided to the public is in fact the deal that we have.” Consequently, once an agreement is read, the government the Conservative government shall not have problem table legislation in Parliament, while enactment of the trade treaty, along with Conservative majority in both the Commons and the Senate the Tory government, will be able to easily pass the deal into law.
The Harper government is anticipated to boast on its deal, specially the marketers among Quebeckers, where polls show voters are especially protective of their dairy farmers and cheese-producing industry. The Canada-EU deal is anticipated to allow more than 17,000 tonnes of additional European cheese into this country unrestricted by the steep protectionist tariffs that the Canadian government normally applies to cheese imports. Mr. Fast alleged that the opponents of a Canada-EU trade deal will be the same ones who opposed a Canada-United States trade accord two decades ago.
