The CUSMA Consultation Process: What do consultations mean for manufacturing and what comes next?

OVERVIEW

In late-September, the Government of Canada launched the second phase of public consultations on the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), to seek input from Canadians on key aspects of the Agreement that are working well, as well as areas that could be improved.

To make sense of it all, join us on October 22 from 12-1pm ET for a for a special members-only webinar with Ann Penner, Vice President of Trade from Wellington Advocacy. She will share her perspectives on the current consultation and what it means for the future of CUSMA and broader North American trade relations.

In this interactive session, you will have the opportunity to hear the latest insights on Canada’s trade negotiations with the U.S. as well as ask questions and provide critical feedback that will inform CME’s official consultation responses.
