Trade Negotiations

As companies strive to become competitive globally, they seek a predictable and open trading environment. The Government of Canada is committed to ensuring efficient market access and modernizing shared borders. With DFAIT, Industry Canada has an important role to play, in working multilaterally and bilaterally with our international partners to eliminate barriers where they exist, to strive toward mutually recognized standards, and to defend Canadian interests abroad. Domestically, Industry Canada works closely with provincial and territorial governments to facilitate the removal of barriers to internal trade.

Canada is negotiating a number of international trade agreements. Information on these negotiations can be found through the links below.
