Left leaning Mexico seeks closer Canada ties in labour and business amid mining spat

Ahead of a visit this week of senior Mexican officials, Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan was in Mexico this month taking stock of the country's growing movement to unionize, which has been undergoing major reforms with some Canadian help.

Those provisions have been enthusiastically taken up by the administration of Mexico's populist centre-left president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, often known as AMLO. The country has inked thousands of new agreements governed by scores of brand-new labour tribunals. Mexico is Canada's third-largest trading partner after the U.S. and China, representing nearly $50 billion in two-way trade last year. O'Regan said the relationship isn't just about trade, but shared values around adequate labour standards, which the Liberals have made a focus in trade-deal negotiations.

Mexico is the world's top provider of silver, which is a key metal for electric vehicles and solar power. Like many Latin American countries, it is trying to improve the benefits to communities by providing these metals to companies based in countries that are trying to become less reliant on China.
