Free trade agreements of Canada

Canada is regularly described as a trading nation as its total trade is worth more than two-thirds of its GDP (the second highest level in the G7 after Germany)[1][2][3] Of that total trade, roughly 75% is done with countries which are part of free trade agreements with Canada, primarily the United States through NAFTA.[4]

The North American Free Trade Agreement among Canada, the United States, and Mexico came into force on January 1, 1994, creating the largest free trade region in the world. By 2010, the NAFTA market was estimated to be worth CDN $17 trillion with a market of 139 million people.[5][6] NAFTA creating the largest free trade region in the world, generating economic growth and helping to raise the standard of living for the people of all three member countries. By strengthening the rules and procedures governing trade and investment, the NAFTA has proved to be a solid foundation for building Canada’s prosperity and has set a valuable example of the benefits of trade liberalization for the rest of the world.
