Session 2 –&nbsp;USMCA’s New Government Procurement Commitments

core/heading

The USMCA significantly revises the NAFTA’s government procurement provisions, excluding, for example, procurement commitments from Canada. Our panel will discuss the various USMCA provisions related to government procurement and what it means for companies trying to take advantage of USMCA benefits. In addition, we will discuss how the USMCA changes government procurement opportunities for Canada, how the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) will be applied, differences between the two agreements, and how the USMCA government procurement provisions will affect future free trade agreements.
