Canadian minister responsible for Canada-US trade LeBlanc says Canadian companies from various provinces have signed 15 commercial partnerships in Mexico

Says: He is reassured by the Mexican economy secretary his desire to work with Canada and to ensure that the review of the USMCA results in a trilateral trade agreement. Mexicans have very similar interests to Canada in ensuring that some of the sectoral tariffs that the US has applied are diminished and are brought down.  Responded 'no' when asked if Canada has discussed any contingency plan with Mexico if the US seeks bilateral deal.
