Other Mechanisms
Federal-Provincial-Territorial Consultations on Trade
The federal government maintains a close relationship with provinces and territories in the area of international trade policy by means of a variety of different mechanisms:
Senior government officials meet on a quarterly basis, at the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Trade (C-Trade) meetings, to review overall and emerging trade policy issues, and to consult on the formulation of Canada's negotiating position and strategy. Ministers and Deputy Ministers responsible for trade meet roughly once a year to discuss trade policy directions, priorities and strategies. In addition, the Department of International Trade:
- maintains intranet networks;
- provides access to several restricted websites;
- holds numerous conference calls with the provinces;
- facilitates the sharing of documents and up-to-date information.
