On WONK this week, the minister of trade and intergovernmental affairs talks to host Amanda Lang about getting a trade deal with America and making 'one Canadian economy'

Job number one of the new Liberal government is salvaging Canada’s trade relationship with the United States. Close on the heels is the job of uniting the country — doing away with internal trade barriers and getting big projects built. All of that is the unwritten mandate of Trade and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc.

In this episode of WONK, Dominic LeBlanc talks to host Amanda Lang about his plan to get to ‘zero’ tariffs with the U.S., why he’s optimistic about the state of ongoing discussions and the need to turn down the volume on partisan politics.
