Story summary

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is expecting to finalize an agreement for Canada to become the European Union's first "associate member" by June, following a two-day summit in Montreal focused on forging closer economic and security ties. The draft declaration from the summit avoided mentioning associate membership but aimed to create an even closer association between Canada and the EU. During the summit, Carney hosted EU officials while addressing concerns about tangible results and consultations with Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, who was excluded from directly addressing attendees at the summit dinner.
