The head of Newfoundland and Labrador's largest private-sector union said he's disappointed that Canada-EU trade talks have fallen apart. "It's preliminary, but it doesn't certainly look good for (the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) in its current form right now," Keith Sullivan, president of the Fish, Food and Allied Workers union told CBC on Friday. International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland walked out of talks Friday with the regional government of Wallonia, which has been blocking the deal, due to be signed next week. "I've no doubt that this deal could be improved, and hopefully if that's the route they go, they'll take those opportunities." He said he'd like to see fishing tariffs removed and better protection for the price of fish in general.
