Submission to the Government of Canada Consultation on the Review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) from the Trade Justice Network

Thank you for this opportunity to provide the Trade Justice Network’s recommendations in advance of the review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement. The Trade Justice Network (TJN) is a coalition of labour, environmental, and social justice organizations. Our members include the Canadian Labour Congress, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, the National Union of Public and General Employees, the Public Service Alliance of Canada, Unifor, and the United Steelworkers. In total, our coalition represents well over three million working people.

When public consultations were held last year, it was business that overwhelmingly made submissions. Here is the breakdown:

Industry/business associations (109) Provinces/Territories (8) Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), labour, and Indigenous groups (13) Academia and individuals (7)

As you can see we need more First Nations, unions and civil society to make their voices heard, especially given the challenges we face in these uncertain times.

Please take the time to make a submission through this page that will be automatically delivered the the government’s consultation email. Submissions are accepted until Monday November 3, 2025.
