Canada trade minister says free trade deal with EU not dead

Reuters

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's potential free trade deal with the European Union is not dead, though the ball is now in Europe's court for completing the pact, Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters on Monday.

Freeland spoke shortly after European Council President Donald Tusk said he thought a summit planned for Thursday to sign the deal with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could still go ahead. The Belgian region of Wallonia opposes the pact between Canada and the 28-nation bloc.
