- Share via
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said today that he will recall Parliament in early December to push for passage of the Canada-U.S. free trade agreement scheduled to take effect Jan. 1.
The prime minister, speaking at a televised news conference in his hometown of Baie-Comeau in eastern Quebec, also said that he spoke with U.S. President-elect George Bush today and that they plan to meet before Bush’s Jan. 20 inauguration. Mulroney told reporters that his party’s triumph in Monday’s federal election delivered the mandate he needed to proceed with the free trade agreement.
