Speaking during a question and answer session at the first Toronto edition of the Women in the World conference, the prime minister said his government has faced hurdles in adding a gender chapter to NAFTA as it did in a free trade deal with Chile. "The pushback we're getting is actually not from south of the border, the pushback we're getting is from Canadian Conservatives, who said 'Oh no this is about economics, it's about jobs... it's not about rhetorical flourishes of being good on environment or being good on gender,'" Trudeau said.
