The motion

That this House congratulates Prime Minister Mark Carney on his victory in the Canadian elections; reflects with gratitude on the deep historic and culture ties between our countries; celebrates our shared values and joint commitment to liberalism, free trade and democracy; strongly supports the strengthening of ties between the UK and Canada, including on defence and trade; further supports Prime Minister Carney's willingness to stand up for Canadian interests in the face of annexation and economic threats from US President Donald Trump; and urges the Government to adopt this same approach in its dealings with President Trump, including calling on the President to end his damaging global trade war and to recommit to support for Ukraine.
