Quebec Premier François Legault says talks should begin as soon as possible on renegotiating the North American free-trade agreement.
Legault made the comments today in a special statement to the legislature, a day after United States Donald Trump paused for 30 days the implementation of 25 percent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods and services.
He says the uncertainty that is being created by constant threats of U.S. tariffs is like injecting “poison” into the economy.
