The Canadian government has an ambitious trade agenda. It has negotiated, is currently negotiating or is studying the possibility of negotiating deals with 80 countries. The Canada-Europe trade deal (CETA), which is close to completion, and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) are new-generation trade deals. This means they are planned to be as comprehensive and ambitious as possible, without any preset exceptions – dealing with everything from trade of goods to intellectual property and investment rights.
