3.2 Departmental Link to the Government of Canada Outcomes
One of the fundamental features of the NAFTA is its efficient trade dispute settlement processes. These processes provide critical stability and transparency for Canadian business and investors as they continue to seek new opportunities and secure market access abroad. Canadian businesses can export their products with the knowledge that rules exist to ensure traded products are
treated fairly and that procedures are in place to settle disputes impartially on the rare occasions when they occur. Hence, the program activity and strategic outcome of the NAFTA Secretariat contributes to the achievement of the Government of Canada’s “A Strong and Mutually Beneficial North American Partnership” outcome area.
The following table shows NAFTA Secretariat’s alignment of program activity and strategic outcome to Government of Canada’s outcome area as well as information on planned spending on financial and human resources over the coming three-year period.

Strategic Outcome: A highly efficient, impartial and rules-based international trade dispute resolution process that benefits Canadian exporters to NAFTA countries, as well as NAFTA country exporters doing business in Canada |
