Canada’s Ambassador to the United States Mark Wiseman said Ottawa is prepared for trade negotiations with Washington, but won’t reach a quick deal if it is not in the interest of Canadians.
“We wish to, the best we can, reduce the uncertainty. But we will not reduce it at any cost, because that is—in my view and in the view of the government—not in the best interest of Canadians,” Wiseman told the House of Commons foreign affairs committee on April 23.
