Statement summary
Chopin supports closer EU-Canada ties through an expanded European Economic Area or another association arrangement. He calls for rules that give Canada a role in decisions rather than merely requiring it to follow them.
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.
