Bill C-13 and Bill C-18 received royal assent on May 6, locking in Canada’s ratification of UK membership in CPTPP and sealing a new trade agreement with Indonesia, ending years of legislative delay.
It is great news that these deals have been passed into laws and are now available for exporters to utilize. Of course, they now have to get off their collective asses and put them to good use. And I am sure the government has to get off it's ass and establish knowledgeable trade officers who can assist our exporters both in Canada and in the Canadian embassies in the trade partner (High Commission in the UK's case).
"The Gazette is a legal record, not a narrative one. It confirms that the law exists. It doesn’t explain why it took this long, or what it cost." One can only imagine the depth and detail of years of a consultative process. Thanks, Hansard.
