Quebec’s premier says Canada–U.S. trade negotiations are “far from over,” signaling that no final decision has been made on an emerging agreement. Premier Christine Fréchette says the Quebec government needs additional details before determining whether the proposed deal protects key provincial industries.
Fréchette specifically points to dairy and forestry as sectors that require safeguards. She tells Prime Minister Mark Carney that she wants more information before Quebec can assess whether the terms adequately reflect Quebec’s interests.
The outlets frame the message as a call for further clarification rather than support or rejection of the talks at this stage. Both report that Fréchette’s position hinges on receiving more documentation and assurances, indicating that negotiations and internal review processes continue.
