Prime Minister Mark Carney has chosen former Privy Council clerk Janice Charette to head Canada’s trade negotiations as it prepares for a review of the North American trade pact. Charette’s title is chief trade negotiator to the United States, according to a Monday news release from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). She’ll be a senior adviser to Carney and Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc. “Charette brings extraordinary leadership, expertise and a deep commitment to advancing Canada’s interests,” Carney said in the release. “She will advance Canadian interests and a strengthened trade and investment relationship that benefits workers and industries in both Canada and the United States.” The announcement comes as the federal government prepares for a scheduled review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) this year. It also comes a day after Mark Wiseman, a global investment banker and pension fund manager, took the reins as Canada’s next ambassador to Washington.
