Description

Few public policy issues have stirred political passions on both sides of the Canada/US border as free trade did in the late 1980s. Negotiated between Canada and the United States in 1987, the Free Trade Agreement became the dominant issue in the November 1988 Canadian federal election, perhaps the most dramatic and divisive campaign in the second half of the twentieth century. Ten years after implementation of the agreement, the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada organized a major conference to renew the discussion of free trade and consider its economic impact. It also marked the fifth anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement by expanding the discussion to include the impact of NAFTA on Mexico, as well as the NAFTA side agreement on the environment.
