Today is the first anniversary of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5527218\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Exports and imports account for 60% of Canada's GDP. That is why progressive free trade agreements such as CETA are so important.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5527219\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Canada's competitiveness depends on opening new markets around the world and making them accessible to small and medium enterprises in particular.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5527220\" data-originallang=\"fr\">CETA helps develop potential trade links between Canada and the European Union. We recently learned that container traffic at the ports of Montreal and Hamilton has increased by 20% over last year. That is very encouraging news.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5527221\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We put the interests of the middle class at the centre of our trade agreements, and Canadian businesses are benefiting from unprecedented access to half a billion consumers in Europe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5527222\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I invite my colleagues to join me in celebrating the first anniversary of CETA.</p>",

C'est pourquoi des accords de libre-\u00e9change progressistes tels que l'AECG sont si importants. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5527219\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La comp\u00e9titivit\u00e9 du Canada d\u00e9pend de l'ouverture de nouveaux march\u00e9s dans le monde et de l'accessibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 ces march\u00e9s, en particulier pour les petites et moyennes entreprises. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5527220\" data-originallang=\"fr\">L'AECG aide \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper le potentiel des liens commerciaux entre le Canada et l'Union europ\u00e9enne. Nous avons r\u00e9cemment appris que le trafic des conteneurs aux ports de Montr\u00e9al et d'Hamilton \u00e9taient d\u00e9j\u00e0 en hausse de 20 % par rapport \u00e0 l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re. C'est une nouvelle tr\u00e8s encourageante. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5527221\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous avons mis les int\u00e9r\u00eats de la classe moyenne au centre de nos accords commerciaux, et les entreprises canadiennes b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient d'un acc\u00e8s sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent \u00e0 un demi-milliard de consommateurs en Europe. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5527222\" data-originallang=\"fr\">J'invite mes coll\u00e8gues \u00e0 se joindre \u00e0 moi pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer le premier anniversaire de l'AECG.</p>"
