Conservatives understand the power of trade to create jobs and strengthen our country, but trade agreements must also respect the interests of Canadian workers and our commitment to human rights and the rule of law.

Signing deals with countries that don’t share our respect for human rights or high labour and environmental standards hurts Canada.

Canada’s Recovery Plan will build stronger ties with those countries who share our values.

Canada’s Recovery Plan will pursue a policy of ‘Free Trade with Free Nations.’

We will pursue an agreement with our allies Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom to build stronger trade, defence and diplomatic ties, and we will build deeper trade ties with democracies like India after they were derailed by Justin Trudeau.

At the same time, we will protect our jobs and national security by making it harder for state-owned companies from non-free countries to buy Canadian companies and by withdrawing from the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank, a tool to promote Chinese influence.

By promoting ‘Free Trade with Free Nations’, we will fuel a strong recovery for Canadians workers and their families.
