Through various statements, the United States has indicated that it would seek to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This roundtable will discuss questions relating to a new NAFTA, if one is negotiated, including: whether NAFTA should be expanded to include other countries (such as Chile and Peru); whether negotiators should create provisions to summarily dismiss frivolous suits (such as challenge to new regulations that corporations complain will diminish their profits); and whether a new agreement should have even stronger enforcement mechanisms for environmental and worker protection.
