TPP Agreement Announced

Canada has concluded negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the largest, most ambitious free trade initiative in history. It is a comprehensive, economic, strategic and balanced agreement that will increase Canada’s foothold in the Asia-Pacific, a region that is expected to comprise two-thirds of the world’s middle class by 2030, and one-half of global gross domestic product (GDP) by 2050.
