Statement summary
McPherson said New Democrats would approach the talks with an open mind. She supported closer ties on labor, technology and climate while requiring public debate, parliamentary scrutiny and respect for Canadian sovereignty.
“Any agreement must respect Canadian sovereignty and serve the interests of Canadians.”
The European Commission president offered to open the door for Canada to become the European Union's first associate member. Mark Carney welcomed the ambition, Pierre Poilievre set red lines, and Donald Trump threatened tariffs. Nobody has defined what the status would mean.
