This is a good example of putting Canada's inclusive trade agenda into practice. More can be done. But this is progress.

Canada releases summary report of the initial Gender-based Analysis Plus as part of the Canada-#Mercosur free trade negotiations – furthering Canada’s commitment to advancing trade that works for all. 🙌https://t.co/m59BEzClRY #TimeToDiversify #HaveYourSay

Aid4Trade event take-aways: inclusive trade agenda is working; most of the progress is happening outside of trade agreements; and that's a good thing because there are better instruments to achieve inclusive trade objectives.

[Phil Rourke @phil_rourke]

This is a big deal in every sense of the word.
