GAC: What We Heard – 2025 Public Consultations on the CUSMA Review

From September 20 to November 3, 2025, Global Affairs Canada conducted a second set of public consultations regarding the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) through a Canada Gazette notice. As in 2024, the process invited interested stakeholders to share their views and experiences with the operation of the CUSMA, as well as ideas for improving the implementation of the Agreement ahead of the 2026 joint review. Feedback was gathered primarily through written submissions, and supplemented by engagement with businesses, industry associations, Indigenous groups, and provinces and territories.

The Government of Canada received a significant volume of input from a diverse mix of individuals, businesses, industry associations, provinces and territories, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from regions across Canada. In total, we received 5,143 submissions. Contributions were received from 184 businesses, 238 industry associations, councils, and labour unions, 4670 individuals, 10 provinces and territories, 8 public sector organizations, 26 Civil Society, NGOs, and public policy groups, and 7 Indigenous groups.
