Ottawa (CNN) — Justin Trudeau intends to raise the issue of abortion rights with Mike Pence, when the US Vice President visits Canada this week.

Pence will be in the city of Ottawa on Thursday to move forward with efforts to ratify the new US-Canada-Mexico trade deal, but Trudeau said Wednesday that he will also bring up the issue of the 'backsliding' on women's rights.

"Obviously I'm very concerned with the situation around the backsliding of women's rights that we're seeing from conservative movements here in Canada, in the United States and around the world. I will have a broad conversation with the Vice President in which of course that will come up," the Canadian Prime Minister told reporters in Ottawa, adding that his main focus remains the new trade deal.

Pence and Trudeau differ dramatically on abortion: Pence is one of the US Republican Party's staunchest opponents of abortion, and family planning organization Planned Parenthood says he has led efforts to restrict reproductive rights and stacked the Trump administration with anti-abortion advocates.

1. JT's mojo needs a new bag.

He kind of Avenattied himself.

2. He's always been geeky deep down. But he is honest and his values

are the same as most of canada's unlike the conservative leader Andrew Scheer who wears a 'cat who swallowed the canary' grin all the time and whose campaign is going to be "we are benign we are benign we are benign". Trudeau's father was the really cool one. I don't mind a geek as long as they are there to make things better for all Canadians. Not just a group of white men.
