Canadian NAFTA negotiators are not bullish on an agreement within within 2 weeks

Canadian NAFTA negotiators open to US ideas on agreeing a deal, but do not see how can complete remaining chapters in next 2 weeks

• Think it is possible to come up with 'a symbolic agreement in principle' showing consensus on some key issues
• Big gaps still remain at NAFTA talks on issues such as government procurement and dispute settlement
• Chief NAFTA negotiators will meet in Washington next week, there are no current plans for an eighth round of talks

Headlines citing " source familiar with Canada's negotiating position"

There has been a lot of good news coming from the negotiations:

• US NAFTA negotiators showing 'some flexibility' on autos

But ... this news is not fresh (as I noted in that linked post) and Adam noted during the US session also. This latest on 'not in 2 weeks' is a bit of a fresh perspective on the talks.
