OTTAWA, Oct. 11, 2018 /CNW/ - Don Walker, CEO of Magna International and Canadian Automotive Partnership Council (CAPC) Chairman: "On behalf of CAPC, we applaud the efforts of the US, Mexico and Canada for their commitment to work together and modernize the original NAFTA agreement. Specifically noteworthy is how Chrystia Freeland demonstrated extraordinary leadership for Canada's negotiating team in what were perhaps the most challenging economic discussions to date. As a result, we believe the new USMCA tentative agreement has the potential to offer stability and competitiveness to all three countries and the automotive industry."
