Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Brexit will allow Canada and the U.K. to forge a larger and "more impactful" trade relationship than the current agreement with the European Union, according to the Times.

Trudeau said he is willing to open formal trade negotiations "the day after Brexit" next year. He assured that trade between the U.K. and Canada would continue seamlessly.

Canada said it will use the current agreement, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), as the starting point for negotiations. But, Trudeau said they can go beyond that agreement for "an even better or larger or more impactful deal."

"There will be things in CETA that are no longer as necessary between Canada and the U.K. and there'd be other areas where we would be interested in going further," he said.

"Trade deals are always challenging but it should be fairly easy for all of us to get to an improved approach on trade between Canada and the U.K.," he added.
