Trade Minister Mary Ng says that Canada will not resume trade talks with India until Narendra Modi's government does not cooperate in the investigation of the case of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was murdered in Surrey.

Mary Ng made the comments while speaking to reporters in San Francisco, where she has joined PM Trudeau for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit.

It is worth noting that Canada stopped trade talks with India in September after the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Nijjar was shot dead outside Gurdwara Sahib in Surrey on June 18.

P. M. Trudeau also raised the issue in private during the G20 summit in India.

On September 18, he directly accused the agents of the Indian government of being behind the murder in the House of Commons.

India is denying these allegations.

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said in a recent statement that India is not denying the investigation but Canada has not provided evidence that Indian agents were involved in the murder.

He said that when the Indian High Commission in Canada was attacked and diplomats were threatened, the Canadian government did not take any action.

B.C. Premier David Eby Backs Carney’s Decision to Halt U.S. Trade Talks

British Columbia Premier David Eby has backed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to suspend trade negotiations with the United States, saying B.C. stands “shoulder to shoulder” with Canada. Eby said the latest round of trade talks had exposed the true position of the Trump administration. According to the premier, Washington was seeking to impose conditions that would restrict Canada’s ability to independently negotiate and conduct trade with other countries. Eby said such conditions would effectively amount to turning Canada into an economic “51st state” of the United States. T

Canada to impose matching tariffs on U.S. goods after new 50 per cent U.S. tariffs

Prime Minister Mark Carney has called the United States’ new 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods an attack on Canada’s economy and announced that Ottawa will respond with dollar-for-dollar tariffs beginning Sept. 8. Asked by reporters whether Canada has now entered a trade war with the United States, Carney said the country is responding to what he described as an economic attack. Carney acknowledged that tariffs could lead to higher prices and fewer choices for Canadians. He said, however, that rejecting what he characterized as a bad deal was in Canada’s interest.

U.S. Tariffs on Canadian Imports Take Effect; PM Carney Warns of Dollar-for-Dollar Hit

U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports went into effect early Saturday morning after Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade negotiations just minutes before the midnight deadline. "I have decided to suspend trade negotiations with the U.S. and have directed Canada’s negotiators to return to Ottawa," Prime Minister Mark Carney said. "Last-minute changes in the U.S.-proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal. Canada will match those tariffs dollar for dollar to protect our workers and businesses." In a statement released Friday night, U.S.
