Alliance for Responsible Trade

Fifteen years since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) entered into effect, it has
become obvious that many of the promised benefits of the agreement have not come to be. As Members
of our Parliaments and Congress in Canada, Mexico and the U.S., we ask you, on behalf of our
constituents as well as civil society organizations, to consider a new, people-centered fair trade model....

Lawmakers in our respective nations launched a Task Force in March 2008 to help push for renegotiating
the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). We have advanced to all three governments to
conduct open reviews of NAFTA’s effects on people, communities and regions. The Task Force on
Renegotiating NAFTA has the support of our respective political parties. As Members of the Task Force,

the Task Force include transforming NAFTA in order to achieve a fair trade policy.
