Justin Trudeau travels to Europe next week to mark EU's ratification of CETA deal

"CETA is the most progressive trade agreement ever negotiated by Canada or the European Union," Trudeau said in a statement.
"CETA sets a high standard for free trade agreements of the future. It will benefit Canada and the European Union by opening new markets and creating new opportunities for Canadian businesses and workers on both sides of the Atlantic," he added.
When the 751-seat European Parliament votes for CETA, it will provisionally bring well over 90 per cent of the deal into force, possibly within months.
OTTAWA—A new report says Canada’s biggest win under the massive trade deal it’s negotiating with the European Union (EU) will be improved labour mobility both into and out of the 28-nation bloc.
According to the report, Across the Sea with CETA: What New Labour Mobility Might Mean for Canadian Business, the deal with the EU is expected to offer Canadian and European workers the ability to work more freely in each others markets—from the current 90 days to a maximum of three years.
“In comparison with previous free trade agreements that covered labour mobility, CETA breaks new ground in several respects,” the report reads.
While only the outlines of the agreement’s labour mobility provisions have been announced to date, the Conference Board says EU officials have agreed to use a “negative list” of worker categories—ones excluded from the agreement—rather than a “positive list” specifying what services are covered.
>So instead of specifying worker classes like NAFTA, now only a few professions are excluded and anyone in the EU can come to Canada
>Do you think Hans the machinist making 120k euros is going to come to Canada to make 50k Euros?
Guess who's coming Goys!!
t. NO FUCKING LIMITS ON MIGRATION FROM EU TO CANADA
