Canada and Mexico are dealing with lingering hard feelings over last summer's surprise Mexican trade deal with the United States as their new continental trade pact awaits a final stamp of political approval.
Two weeks ago, the head of a visiting delegation of Canadian parliamentarians told the newly installed Mexican foreign minister his country threw Canada "under the bus" last August when it forged a bilateral trade deal with the United States during the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The deal must now be ratified by the legislatures of all three countries, but with turmoil in Washington, and a slowly-shuttering political window in Ottawa with a fall federal election on the horizon, that is far from certain. "We did say very clearly in our last meeting in Mexico with the foreign affairs minister that we were frustrated with the feeling that Mexico was sort of moving away from the trilateral agreement," Nault said in an interview.
Luz Maria de la Mora, Mexico's deputy trade minister, acknowledged the past Canadian complaints, but she said the two countries are moving forward constructively.
