On September 30, 2018, the governments of the United States, Mexico, and Canada (“Parties” or “Party”) announced the completion of negotiations with respect to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (“USMCA”). Although it has yet to be signed and ratified, the USMCA will govern trade and investment among the three Parties, replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement. All Canadians, including charities and not-for-profits, will be impacted by the USMCA, including its provisions relating to privacy and intellectual property (“IP”), as described in this Charity & NFP Law Bulletin.
