Conservative MP Jamil Jivani says Mexico is further ahead of Canada when it comes to negotiations on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

“Mexico—the third partner in our trilateral trade agreement with the U.S.—is further ahead in its engagement with the U.S. than Canada is,” Jivani said in a Feb. 8 op-ed in The National Post.
