Opening Dairy Market To US Was Biggest 'Compromise' In Trade Talks, Freeland Says

Giving the U.S. increased access to the Canadian dairy market was the single biggest concession Ottawa made during the recent renegotiation of NAFTA, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland.

Freeland, who led the talks, made the remark in answer to a question from a member of the public at a CBC event in Toronto — though her reply changed his word "concession" to "compromise."

"Any negotiation obviously involves compromise, that's why it's a negotiation. Otherwise we would just have our list of what we want and get it," Freeland said at the event, about Canada-U.S. relations in the wake of the midterm elections.
