Ontario Premier Doug Ford will travel to Washington on Wednesday for an update on NAFTA talks. The premier said in a statement that he plans to stress the need to protect Ontario workers in the steel, automotive and agricultural sectors. Ford has previously said he supports federal efforts to renegotiate the trade deal with the United States and Mexico. Earlier this summer, Wilson travelled to Washington to testify before a U.S. Department of Commerce hearing on NAFTA, calling for balanced and fair trade between the two countries. "We will continue to do our part to protect Ontario workers in the automotive, steel and agricultural sectors," Ford said in his statement Monday.
