Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc said the country would be willing to hold early talks on the North American free trade pact with the United States, which is scheduled for joint review next year.

“If the American administration indicated to us that they wanted to advance that date and have those conversations, we would be ready,” LeBlanc told Bloomberg News on Friday. He added that the nations have a lot of common interests between the three of them.
