History

Historical Context

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) took effect on January 1, 1994, aiming to eliminate trade barriers among Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. This agreement led to a significant increase in trade, with Canadian exports to the U.S. rising over 300% in subsequent years.
