NDP leader says Carney needs to update Parliament on trade talks

Jun 11, 2025 | 12:05 PM

OTTAWA — Interim NDP Leader Don Davies says Prime Minister Mark Carney is not being transparent about negotiations with the U.S. on getting President Donald Trump’s tariffs lifted.

Davies says Parliament has not been kept in the loop on what Carney and Trump are talking about behind closed doors, or whether Ottawa has involved stakeholders in negotiations with the U.S.

CBC/Radio-Canada reported earlier in the day that the U.S. and Canada are hashing out a “working document” that outlines details of a potential trade deal.

The prime minister’s office is neither confirming nor denying that report.

Pete Hoekstra, Trump’s ambassador to Canada, said in an armchair talk in Ottawa today he thinks there’s a “possibility to have a great deal.”
