Hard to say. As far as I'm concerned, Canada should unilaterally drop all intentional trade barriers against Hong Kong, Singapore, and the UK, wait five years, and see if the UK reciprocates. We don't need to wait for Hong Kong or Singapore since in those two cases, we ourselves would be the ones doing the reciprocating.
That said, unilateral free trade does have its limits. For example, while it allows Canada to drop tariffs and quotas against these jurisdictions, Canada would still need to negotiate trade agreements to harmonize our packaging and labeling rules, phytosanitary rules, and other such unintentional trade barriers. Even if negotiating such deeper agreements takes times, unilateral free trade, however superficial it may be by limiting itself only to tariffs and quotas, would still be a quick first step and quite beneficial even on its own. We could then take time to promote deeper trade agreements to supplement our unilateral free trade policies over time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Canada DROP trade with Hong Kong and Singapore????????????????????????????????????????
Apparently some people are unaware that Our idiot Boy Justin is DESPERATE to BUILD UP trade with China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the geography challenged LIE-berals among us- both Hong Kong and Singapore ARE part of CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With BOTH CITIES being RENTED by Britain on 100 year leases- which have RUN OUT and Chinese govt is restored!!!!!!!!!
And since Yankees are neck deep in a trade war with Chinese Communist dictators who are bullying much of the world - using
weapons bought with hard currency they are earning from selling their crap to the west- it means that ANY SUCCESS Our idiot Boy
has in expanding trade with China is likely to bring MORE TARIFFS against Canada!
Our idiot Boy has really got to CHOOSE which side he is on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly- based on his comments: "that he likes the way Chinese leaders get things done" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And cynical Cdns must conclude that one of the things Our idiot Boy likes MOST about Commies is their ability to REWRITE HISTORY to suit themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then there is the long "friendship" between all the Trudueau`s and Commie dictator Castro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or maybe we should look at the grass roots of Trudeau values- with Pierre Trudeau happily heaping praise on Chairman Mao for "his genius in rushing 30 million Chiese to the gallows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes- how many other Cdn families can boast of a patriarch who publicly PRAISES a MASS MURDERER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And lest we forget: Pierre Trudeau also happily told us that the war against Nazi Germany was nothing but "British Imperialism!!!!!!!!!!
One wonders just how GREEDY FOR GRAVY some civil service union Hogs really are that they would - for decades - support a family that thinks MASS MURDER and POLITICAL TYRANNY might be useful govt tools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
