ISDS Case Map
NAFTA | USMCA
Canada has been under intense pressure to make irreversible concessions affecting a broad range of issues.
Mexico wants to end to a tariff dispute over steel and aluminum with the United States prior to signing off on the reworked trade agreement.
Some 300 farmers from across Canada took to the streets of Montreal to demand the Trudeau government make good on its promise to defend supply management.
Trudeau said Canadians will not sign onto a deal that does not include a dispute resolution mechanism and exemptions for cultural industries.
US-Canada trade talks ended with no deal to revamp NAFTA, and President Donald Trump notified Congress of his intent to sign a bilateral trade pact with Mexico.
Trump’s push to get a deal with Canada is a negotiating tactic and attempt to move something before the new Mexican president takes office.
US and Canada officials continue to meet but there are three key issues to resolve: dairy, intellectual property, dispute settlement.
Canadians feel stabbed in the back by Mexico after it agreed a separate trade deal with Trump.
When NAFTA was signed, it included labor protections for workers in all three countries. But labor complaints filed through the NAFTA labor dispute process have led nowhere.
Not only the negotiations have not been finalized, and without Canada, but the texts remain hidden from the public.
