Brandon-Souris MP Larry Maguire says the recent midterm elections in the United States shouldn’t have any impact on trade between Canada and the US.

“The Republicans gained a few more seats in the Senate and the Democrats picked up the balance of power in the Congress but I don’t think that will have a big impact on trade.”

Maguire points out it was a similar situation when Barrack Obama was two years into his first term. “It was similar back then and there weren’t any big trade problems and I don’t see a lot of change with regards to trade.”
