Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that Canada will lift visa requirements for Mexican visitors as of December 2016, removing a major irritant in relations between the two countries.
Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto made the announcement in Ottawa ahead of Wednesday's North American leaders' summit with U.S. President Barack Obama.
Pena Nieto also announced Mexico has agreed to open its markets to Canadian beef.
"We are here to renew the relationship," Pena Nieto said. "There were some rocks on the way and one was the visa."
Canada's previous Conservative government imposed the visa requirement . . .
