Should Canada Push for Changes to the CUSMA Trade Deal?
Official title: Consulting Canadians on the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)
Canada, the US, and Mexico will review their trade agreement in 2026. The government wants to know what's working and what needs fixing. This is the second round of public input—the first happened in late 2024.
Why This Matters
Buy groceries? Drive a car? Work for a company that trades with the US or Mexico? This deal affects prices, jobs, and what products are available. If you've noticed supply chain issues or price swings, trade rules play a role.
What Could Change
Canada's negotiating position for the 2026 review will be shaped by this feedback. Changes could affect tariffs on goods, rules for auto manufacturing, dairy quotas, digital trade rules, and labour standards enforcement.
