MONTREAL. x--16s. The prime minister and European Council President Donald Tusk (TOOSK') have concluded a meeting in Montreal where Canada and E-U members talked up the merits of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. Canada's Parliament has already ratified the pact, but seven Canadian and Quebec politicians sent a letter to French lawmakers this week urging them not to follow suit. At a news conference with Tusk, Justin Trudeau questioned with whom the New Democrats would sign a trade deal if not with Europe.

TAG: So far, 13 E-U countries have ratified the deal, but almost all of CETA — more than 90 per cent — went into force in September 2017 under what is known as provisional application.
