Von der Leyen said the EU and Canada would work to create "a common prosperity and economic security space."

"This agreement is not just an economic opportunity. It is a political necessity", Ursula von der Leyen said.

She has held the post for five years.

"Compare it to our government’s rushed deal with New Zealand and you have a near-perfect case-control study", Mike Galsworthy said.

"There is so much we can do together with wisdom and vision."
