Commonwealth: Trade

Proceeding contribution from Lord Spellar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on Commonwealth: Trade.

Among the mature economies and G20 countries that the hon. Gentleman mentions is Canada, and I hope he joins me in welcoming the House’s decision on 8 February to endorse the EU-Canada trade deal. In parallel with that deal, should not we look into a trade deal with Canada to take place shortly after we have left the EU? After all, if we cannot do a deal with Canada, where many of us have relations and with which we have strong links and a strong strategic and security alliance, who the hell can we do a deal with?
