12 February 2010: Ambassador Jacobson's Statement on Government Procurement Agreement
Ambassador of the United States of America to Canada David Jacobson welcomes today's announcement.
"I am pleased to be able to say that the United States and Canada have reached an agreement that will permanently expand free trade between our two countries. This was achieved after long and –- at times -– hard bargaining by people on both sides of the border. The agreement is an important step in a 40 year progression of free trade between the U.S. and Canada. Hopefully, that progress will continue for at least 40 more years."
