We promote safe and legal travel through trusted travel programs, including our joint NEXUS program with over 1.8 million members.

Signed in 1987 and on 2 January 1988 by the Heads of State or Government of both countries.

As part of the Youth Ambassadors program, high school students and adult mentors travel to the United States as part of a three-week leadership development program. Legislation to implement the deal was delayed in the Senate, which had a Liberal majority. In part in response to these delays, Mulroney called an election in 1988. The trade deal was by far the most important theme of the campaign, prompting some to call it the "free trade choice." This was the first Canadian election to feature large third-party campaign ads, with supporters and opponents using lobbyists to buy tv ads.
