Canada launches public consultations on CUSMA agreement

The Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) is a landmark agreement, first enacted on July 1, 2020, that facilitates free trade across North America, supporting opportunities for Canadian workers, businesses and communities.

On September 19, 2025, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc announced the launch of public consultations on the operation of CUSMA. This marks the Government of Canada’s second formal public consultation on the agreement, following an initial round held in 2024.

“CUSMA is a model trade agreement that helps make the North American region more competitive and prosperous,” said Hon. LeBlanc. “As we prepare for the joint review of CUSMA, we want to hear directly from Canadians. Their views will help us ensure that this agreement continues to reflect our national priorities, strengthen our economy, and create opportunities for businesses and workers across Canada.”

The feedback from these consultations will inform Canada’s preparations for the first joint review of the agreement.

Participants will be able to submit their comments from September 20th, 2025 until November 3rd, 2025.
