Canada have just agreed a trade deal with the EU. So I am thinking as a start point we should at the very least be getting a similar deal with EU countries post Brexit.
What I am trying to understand is the key differences between trade deals between non EU members and those within the EU i.e how much we could lose out / gain by being out of the single market.
@GTP22,
It took more than 9 years to get to this point in the deal.

Don't expect any other country/area to get through a trade agreement any faster.
Does this mean cheap poutine in Tesco at Christmas?
