The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what the terms of reference are for the UK-Canada Economic and Trade Working Group.

Answered by Chris Bryant

In line with the commitment made between our Prime Ministers in June, the UK-Canada Economic and Trade Working Group will meet this Autumn to deepen our trading relationship further, including to address existing market access barriers, to expand existing arrangements into new areas, such as digital trade, and to explore cooperation in the development of critical minerals and sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure.
