OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada and Britain are on the verge of a deal to ensure that free trade between the two, post-Brexit, can continue until the Canadian Parliament approves a new bilateral agreement, according to four well-placed sources.
The two sides are discussing a bridging mechanism allowing them to temporarily waive tariffs, the sources said. This would likely take the form of a memorandum of understanding that Ottawa could agree to without needing approval from legislators.
This means both sides can avoid imposing tariffs on each other when Britain leaves the European Union on Dec 31.

“He alerted us and convinced all of us our entire company, our supervisory board, our shareholders to pivot from cancer therapy to this program and to redirect our resources into developing a vaccine,” Ms. Tureci said.

The US Food and Drug Administration s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee will hold a virtual meeting today to consider emergency use authorization of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine.
That meeting was set to begin at 9 a.m. ET.
