What is ‘Canada + (++)’?
A number of pro-Brexit MPs, including David Davis, floated the idea a Canada +(++) model style free trade agreement with the EU, with a varying number of pluses, involved building on the basic CETA agreement for the UK and adding extra or deeper provisions on the likes of trade in services. This is essentially what the Johnson government is seeking to negotiate, since it is seeking easier access for services. However, the EU is also asking for some additional provisions, especially on level playing field and state aid.
