Canada has requested a meeting with Beijing at the World Trade Organization to try to bring an end to China’s ban on its canola, Trade Minister Jim Carr announced Friday. In a news release, Carr said Canada raised concerns at the WTO General Council in May about the ban that has compounded already strained relations. Now Canada is seeking formal bilateral consultations at the WTO as direct engagement with China has not lead to a resolution of the trade spat, he said.
