Canada is ready for free trade with China now more than ever

Canadian government is currently exploring greater economic integration with China in the form of a free trade agreement (Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, 2021, p. 4)

In the past year, Canadian attitudes toward greater economic engagement with China have improved. The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada's (APF Canada) National Opinion Poll 2017: Canadian Views on Engagement with China shows that Canadians' support for an FTA with China has increased over the years (Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, 2021, p. 4).

70 per cent of Canadians believe that greater engagement with China will lead to more opportunities for Canadian businesses and youth, respectively (Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, 2021, p. 4).

Canada is open for free trade with China because of the advantages that benefit from trade.

With regards to the above points, these points are in favour of Canada. However, I would need a negative impact on Canada (Counter arguments) for the above points which are not beneficial to Canada.
