On July 8, 2014, Canada joined a number of other World Trade Organization (WTO) members, including the European Union, China, Japan and the United States, to launch negotiations on a WTO environmental goods agreement.

In accordance with the 2010 Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan, and Program Proposals, the Government of Canada is conducting an environmental assessment (EA) to inform these trade negotiations. Comments by interested parties are invited on any likely environmental impacts on Canada of an environmental goods agreement.

The Government of Canada is committed to sustainable development. Mutually supportive trade, investment and environmental policies can contribute to this objective. Negotiators therefore endeavour to obtain relevant information and otherwise improve their understanding of the relationship between trade and environmental issues at the earliest stages of decision making through an open and inclusive process. Environmental assessments of trade negotiations are critical to this work.

For more information on the Environmental Goods Agreement, please visit www.international.gc.ca/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/topics-domaines/env/plurilateral.aspx?lang=eng.
