Very briefly, I think I have an interesting insight as an outsider looking at Canada from another country. I can tell you, quite optimistically, that Canada has an excellent reputation as a champion of world trade. A lot of countries look up to Canada, and it's doing a great job upholding the world trading system.
My advice would be that Canada needs to continue to engage at these forums, like the World Trade Organization, show leadership at the CPTPP and continue to negotiate free trade agreements as it has been doing.
My one piece of advice for what Canada could do better is that a number of countries I've spoken to around the world often suggest that Canada goes too far and tends to include things in trade negotiations that are not really trade-related. It turns these international trade treaties into general instruments of policy—things like climate change, accessibility and inclusivity. I'm concerned that perhaps there's a little bit of mission creep in some of these trade negotiations when Canada is involved, and I think that makes these agreements much harder.
Stick to the core mission of liberalizing trade, lowering barriers to trade and investment and promoting open markets, and be less concerned about these public policy issues that are actually not trade-related.
