OTTAWA—The Canadian government says it is business as usual with the UK despite the dramatic ousting of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson by his party.

Global Affairs Canada and the Department for International Trade signalled Thursday that the relationship with the UK will remain strong and that the toppling of Britain’s prime minister will not affect Canada’s negotiations on a crucial free−trade agreement.
