NAFTA Review
July 18, 2017
The NAFTA review is well underway, with the United States government announcing yesterday its objectives for the upcoming negotiations. The deadline for providing comments to the Canadian government is today, July 18.
The CSCB has provided comments to the Government of Canada on behalf of members and their clients, and we intend to collaborate with our counterparts in the United States (NCBFAA) and Mexico (CAAAREM) to identify areas of common interest as the negotiations unfold. A copy of the CSCB paper will be circulated to members later this week.
