Trudeau made the comment in Montreal on Sunday, where he hosted a series of meetings with his Spanish counterpart, Pedro Sanchez. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Justin Trudeau will attend a military welcome, hold a bilateral meeting and take part in an armchair discussion on Sunday. And while Trudeau told reporters that “Canada recognizes one united Spain,” some prominent nationalists called on Canada to recognize an independent Catalonia. It was the second formal meeting for Trudeau and Sanchez, who first met at the NATO summit in Belgium in July, shortly after Sanchez was sworn in as prime minister. Sanchez said it was the first time since 2002 that a Spanish prime minister has made an official trip to Canada.
