The GNCC was pleased to receive the announcement that U.S. House Democrats had approved the CUSMA trade agreement. We have strongly advocated for free trade and hope that this agreement will clear the way for uninterrupted and unhindered trade between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. We urge legislatures to ratify this agreement quickly and put an end to the uncertainty which has recently marred U.S.-Canadian trade relations and harmed businesses and consumers on both sides of the border. The GNCC offers its thanks to Minister Freeland and her negotiating team for an agreement which represents the best practical outcome for Canada.
