NAFTA Consultations

As you may be aware Canada will soon enter into renegotiation with the United States and Mexico on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

The Trade Policy and Negotiations Branch in the BC Ministry of Jobs, Trade, and Technology is leading the development of the Province’s positions and interests in the NAFTA renegotiation. The Province is interested to hear about your experience in the United States and Mexico, and whether you are encountering any barriers (e.g., non-tariff barriers etc.) exporting and importing goods and services to and from these markets.

Please complete the survey below to aid in the development of the Province’s negotiating positions.

While the information received may be shared with other provincial and territorial governments participating in these negotiations, as well as the Government of Canada, your comments will be shared without attribution and firm-specific information will be treated in confidence.
