A report in the Globe and Mail notes that the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago is calling on Canada to renew stalled trade talks with the Caribbean in light of the pending expiry of their current trade treaty:
Talks on a free trade agreement between Canada and a group of 15 Caribbean countries appear to have stalled and need to be reinvigorated to meet a year-end deadline to conclude a deal, says Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
In a meeting Friday with The Globe and Mail’s editorial board, Ms. Persad-Bissessar said a current agreement between Canada and some Caribbean countries will expire this year, removing existing duty-free access to each others’ markets.
