Canada Trade Minister Doesn't See TPP Deal by End of Year
MONTREAL--Countries negotiating a trans-Pacific trade group are "highly unlikely" to complete an agreement this year, Canadian Trade Minister Ed Fast said Wednesday.
"I think generally there's an understanding that it's highly unlikely that the agreement will be completed before the end of this year," Mr. Fast said in an interview on the sidelines of an economic conference here. "I think there's a general consensus that that won't happen."
