North American Free Trade Agreement
Canadian, Mexican, and United States investors considering bringing a claim under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) against a NAFTA State Party should be aware that the three-year window for notifying their claim will soon come to an end. Therefore, you must take quick action to notify your claim by March 31, 2023, to be in a position to submit your request for arbitration before July 1, 2023, the final deadline for the submission of legacy NAFTA investment claims.
US-M-CA Free Trade Agreement
Under the US-M-CA FTA, US and Mexican firms will not be able to bring forth claims against Canada, nor Canada against the USA or Mexico. The only exceptions to these claims are government-based investor claims in the following covered areas:
oil and gas; power generation; telecommunications; transportation; or
infrastructure.
