NAFTA negotiations are continuing
We're doing detailed work, reviewing it

Both sides showing goodwill in NAFTA talks
Conversations this week have been constructive
We're working in an intense fashion

Double whammy from the Wilkins and Freeland here with the BOC discussing a faster pace of rate hikes and Freeland showing a bit of optimism.
It's unclear if talks for today are done.
