Ahead of elections in Canada and the United States and the upcoming review of the US-Canada-Mexico Agreement, AmCham Canada and the Digital Media Association (DIMA), in partnership with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute hosted a roundtable discussion on Canada’s approach to digital trade.

The event brought together industry experts and thought leaders who shared  views on challenges Canada faces in maintaining its leadership in the digital space while addressing concerns related to regulatory barriers that may impact trade and innovation.
