Largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada’s merchandise trade —and merchandise trade around the world—has been volatile in the last two years. Business closures to control the spread of the virus, shifts in spending patterns, volatile commodity prices, and lingering supply chain issues have all contributed to the disruptions in trade.

The year 2021 marks the 10-year anniversary of the implementation of the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement (CCoFTA) which entered into force on August 15, 2011. Although the tariff reductions committed to in the agreement are not yet fully implemented, Canadian exporters have already benefited from reduced or eliminated tariffs on nearly all of their exports to Colombia.Footnote1 The implementation of CCoFTA also provides a more predictable, transparent and rules-based trading environment for Canadian investors and businesses.Footnote2 The 10-year post-implementation period has provided enough facts and data that a thorough and objective assessment of the CCoFTA can now be performed to examine whether the agreement has delivered on its benefits and potential. This report will review the trade performances of the two partners by comparing the pre-CCoFTA period (prior to 2011) with the post-CCoFTA period (from 2012 onward) with a focus on trade advances since the implementation and the effect of tariff reductions.

This study will analyse the potential economic impact of a lack of the Trade Continuity Agreement between Canada and the United Kingdom when the United Kingdom would no longer be a legal party to Canada-EU treaties, including CETA as of January 1, 2021. In the absence of a transitional agreement or a trade agreement between Canada and the United Kingdom, bilateral trade between the two countries would be governed by WTO rules alone, and the goods trade between Canada and the United Kingdom would be subject to WTO most-favoured nation (MFN) duties. Neither Canada nor the United Kingdom would continue to benefit from the preferential market access currently provided for under CETA. In May 2020, the United Kingdom announced the applied MFN tariff schedule referred to as the UK Global Tariff (UKGT), which would take effect after the post-Brexit transition period. The United Kingdom’s bound tariff rates—the highest tariffs that the United Kingdom could apply—have not yet been certified at the WTO. The proposed bound tariffs are almost identical to the EU’s Common External Tariffs (CET). The analysis that follows explores the economic implications of the two scenarios where Canada-U.K. trade reverts to MFN conditions: the U.K. applied tariffs (UKGT) and the U.K. bound tariffs (EU CET). The benefits from increased certainty for the services sectors under CETA would also be removed.
