NDP is now pro-free trade and voted in favor of all (or most) free trade treaties in the current legislature. Probably not foreign to the fact than Quebec is mostly pro-free trade (for economical reasons, as they is no significant manufacturing industry left, economy is focused on techs and ressources).
As for Liberals, they were great proponents of free trade while they were in power. They mostly ran against free trade in 1988 because free trade was the subject of the election and wanted to differentiate themselves from PC and weren't willing to leave the anti free trade vote to the NDP. If they would have taken a pro-free trade position, they would probably have finished 3rd, stuck between pro-free trade PC and anti-free trade NDP.
As for the conservative opposition, you're quite aware there is a vocal part of the party which boasts about canadian independance and which would probably view such plans as the first step of creating American Union and randoms ramblings about Amero. Think of the eurosceptic wing of UK Consevatives. But, yes, most Conservatives would back it.
