Que sait-on sur le futur accord commercial Canada–États-Unis? 

À la suite du report de l’instauration de nouveaux droits de douane américains, le gouvernement fédéral a confirmé hier qu’il finalisait un accord avec Washington.  

Mark Carney s’est toutefois contenté d’évoquer des «progrès substantiels», en soulignant qu’«il reste encore du travail important à accomplir».

Aucun des deux gouvernements n’a dévoilé le contenu de l’accord qui serait en cours de finalisation. Seules indications:

  • Dominic LeBlanc, ministre responsable du commerce Canada–États-Unis, a indiqué que le système de gestion de l’offre resterait intact.
  • Tim Houston, premier ministre de la Nouvelle-Écosse, a dit que Carney avait demandé aux provinces de remettre en vente l’alcool américain.
