With roughly three hours to go before boarding a flight to Argentina for a meeting of G20 leaders, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said this afternoon Canada is "still in discussions with the Americans" about signing the revised North American trade agreement at the summit. "We are still in discussions with the Americans about exactly that," the prime minister said on his way into question period this afternoon. His comments echo what government spokespeople told reporters Tuesday — that while they are still "tracking" toward a Friday signing, Canada hasn't confirmed the signing yet and the government is still working on a format for the event. The agreement posted online by the United States Trade Representative's office on Oct.1 included language Canadian negotiators apparently never approved. Both Mexico and Canada wanted those tariffs lifted before the signing ceremony took place.
