Canada’s prime minister said he’ll raise his concern that the U.S. is “backsliding” on women’s rights during a visit Thursday by Vice President Mike Pence, a noted abortion opponent.

Justin Trudeau, speaking to reporters in Ottawa on Wednesday, said his meeting with Pence will mostly center on the new trade deal between the two countries and Mexico to replace NAFTA. But he signaled he’ll also address abortion. Trudeau and his government are avowed defenders of abortion 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,” Trudeau said, according to video from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. “I will have a broad conversation with the vice president -- of course that’ll come up, but we’re going to mostly focus around the ratification process on NAFTA and making sure that we get good jobs for Canadians.”

The U.S. Supreme Court this week made a move toward strengthening state powers to regulate abortion by upholding an Indiana law requiring clinics to bury or cremate fetal remains. The measure was signed into law in 2016 by Pence, then the state’s governor.

Meanwhile, several Republican-dominated U.S. states including Georgia, Alabama and Missouri have passed laws this year criminalizing most abortions. The measures are seen as an attempt to prompt lawsuits that may lead to the Supreme Court overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that made abortion legal nationwide.

Trudeau and Pence could hardly have more different views on abortion. In 2017, Pence became the first sitting vice president to address an annual anti-abortion march in Washington, celebrating Donald Trump as “a president who I proudly say stands for the right to life.”

Trudeau heads into an election this fall against a rival Conservative Party that’s leading in polls. Trudeau’s government describes itself as feminist, and Trudeau has said he firmly defends a woman’s right to choose whether to bring a child to term.
