"I don't want to speculate on what might be next but we don't think that ... the stoppage of canola trade is really one that's done on grounds that make sense," he said.
"And of course we're concerned with the spectra of other products being either delayed at the border or in some way taken out of the trading relationship," the minister added. "This is a real concern."
