Canada's Trade Policies Boost Globalization Through Multilateral and Regional Agreements.
The World Trade Organisation reviewed Canada's trade policies in 2003. The review found that Canada's trade regime is open and transparent, with some barriers in certain sectors. Data analysis shows that Canada's imports align with its economy size and location. Canada's anti-dumping actions are in line with its imports, and its exports face fewer anti-dumping investigations than expected. Regional trade agreements have boosted trade without causing diversion. Canada has increased imports from the poorest countries by removing tariffs and quotas. Progress has been made in opening up Canada's agriculture and clothing industries. Overall, Canada is dedicated to global trade liberalisation through various initiatives.
