Pierre Poilievre proposes a new partnership among Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, labeled 'modern CANZUK', which would exclude the U.S. The initiative aims to align trade and labor regulations, enhance economic cooperation, and address regulatory barriers.

Key elements include harmonized professional credential recognition, a skilled labor mobility framework, and integrated defense procurement. Poilievre suggests a critical minerals pact to support defense capabilities and lower costs. He emphasizes strengthening ties with 'like-minded' nations while preserving Canadian protections for French language policies in Quebec.
