What's a 'durable' trade deal?

Prime Minister Mark Carney wants a 'durable' deal, meaning one that lasts and isn't easily changed or broken. This suggests Canada is looking for long-term stability and predictability in its trade relationship with the US, rather than a temporary fix that might unravel again soon. It's about building trust and a stable economic future.
