While our Government is taking action to create stability now, we are also working to strengthen our economy and ensure economic growth in the future. We believe that the creativity, ingenuity, and common-sense of Canada’s entrepreneurs, small business owners and hard-working families are what will drive our country’s long-term prosperity. The Harper Government knows that the key to Canada’s economic success is our commitment to free trade. And we are delivering countless new trade opportunities so that Canadian businesses of all sizes can expand into new markets more easily, and on freer, more competitive terms of access than ever before.
Since elected in 2006, our Government has concluded new free trade agreements with Colombia, Peru, Jordan, Panama and the European Free Trade Association states of Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
