Might be my personal bias, but the call for a 'Team Canada' approach, linked to external trade agreements and the aim for reducing internal trade barriers, sounds eerily similar tovon der Leyen's rhetoric of 'Team Europe', the EU's extension of free trade agreements and completing the single market.
To unlock the full potential of our new trade agreements, we need a Team Canada approach.
Agreed. In many ways it is the same approach to the same challenge.
Worth pointing out though this isn't new. For decades foreign trade missions have often been dubbed 'team Canada' to mean multiple government departments or representatives from different sectors of the economy.
