Canada is willing to begin formal trade talks with the UK the day after Brexit, its prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said before a meeting of the Commonwealth heads of government. In an interview with The Times he reiterated that Canada was willing to open formal trade negotiations with the UK “the day after” Brexit next March. The Canadian government has been keen for Britain and EU leaders to agree on an outline deal by next week so that it can start negotiations in Brussels at the end of March. However, India is not so open to the prospect of such a deal with the UK. India’s deputy high commissioner, Dinesh Patnaik, said reaching such an agreement would be tedious process and would take a very long time.
