The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that a massive Canadian trade delegation will descend on Mexico on Sunday, as Ottawa attempts to make up for lost time and strengthen economic ties between the two countries in the face of U.S. protectionism. The Globe's Adam Radwanski and Mark Rendell write that led by Dominic LeBlanc, the trip will include leaders of 250 Canadian businesses as well as government and industry officials. In an interview, Mr. LeBlanc billed it as "the largest bilateral trade mission undertaken by Canada," since at least the late 1990s or early 2000s. The six-day trip is happening amid uncertainty about the future of continental trade. The North American free-trade pact is up for review this year, and there are concerns that President Donald Trump could walk away from the trilateral deal. This week, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said he will mostly negotiate separately with Canada and Mexico, rather than as a bloc, and complained that Canada has been the more difficult country to deal with. More than 60 Canadian auto parts companies and nearly 140 Canadian mining companies operate in Mexico. These include TC Energy, Scotiabank, Bombardier, BRP, Martinrea, Linamar and Magna.
