OTTAWA — Federal conservatives are calling on the government to release the full details of the trade offer from the United States that Canada rejected this week.

In a letter to Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Canada-U.S. relations critic Shuvaloy Majumdar said while his party supports the government’s decision to reject the deal, Parliament is in the dark on what was on the table.

Majumdar said he’s not asking for “negotiating secrets,” but rather information that both the Canadian and U.S. governments already know.

Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade talks with the United States on Friday after accusing the U.S. administration of introducing measures in the final hours of negotiations that restricted Canada’s ability to do deals with other countries.

In an interview with the New York Times on Saturday, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the Americans offered, in part, to cut the 10 per cent tariffs on softwood lumber, and lower steel tariffs from 50 to 25 per cent.

Carney said on Saturday the U.S. also added terms near the end of negotiations that restricted Canada’s protections of language and culture.
