Canada's trade minister is trying to save NAFTA - Reuters

"In the baking Ohio heat Canada's trade minister is trying to save NAFTA, one encounter at a time," said Reuters in a recent article.

Key quotes:

• Francois-Philippe Champagne is in Cincinnati for a meeting-packed June day as part of a concerted Canadian outreach campaign ahead of talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement
• "We have to hammer, hammer, hammer away at this and when we're exhausted, hammer again," said one person involved in the Canadian effort.
• Champagne's message is simple: "We are your largest client."
• Champagne: "I don't think companies will see a NAFTA win unless we address this."
