Canada wants environmental protections added to a 23-year-old continental trade pact with Mexico and the United States, its top diplomat said Monday, ahead of trilateral talks in two days.

Canada has continued to cooperate with likeminded US states on climate issues.

Freeland cited the Canada-EU free trade agreement that comes into effect on September 21 as a template for modernizing the country's trade ties with the United States and Mexico.

According to Canadian government figures, Canada, the United States and Mexico together account for one-quarter of the world's economy, with a combined 470 million consumers.

Freeland said that Canada is the United State's biggest customer, buying more from the United States than China, Britain and Japan combined.

The United States had a slight trade surplus of US$8.1 billion with Canada last year.
