Red meat sector urges Ottawa to reject U.K. CPTPP membership
Canada’s red meat sector is urging Parliament to reject the U.K.’s accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. The major Canada-Europe trade agreement, CETA, made big promises to the beef and pork sectors that never materialized, and meat sectors worry that the U.K. joining CPTPP will bring similar issues to that deal.
