The Department of International Trade, also referred to as International Trade Canada, is the department in the government of Canada with responsibility for import/export and international trade policies.
The department was created in December2003 during a reorganization of the federal government which saw the former Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade split into two departments. As of 2005, legislative changes to legally remove the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade from the books and establish a Department of International Trade have yet to be enacted.
InternationalTrade Minister Jim Peterson is leading a trade mission to India fom April 3 to 7, with stops in Mumbai, the financial capital, and New Delhi.
InternationalTradeCanada (ITCan) is active in promoting CSR with the Canadian business community, civil society groups, within government and with other countries.
The Government of Canada is seeking the views of Canadians on the possible scope of a free trade agreement between Canada and Korea.
InternationalTradeCanada has been created to ensure that we continue to enhance the contribution to Canada's prosperity of internationaltrade and investment by developing the tools and policies necessary to respond to the complex global environment that Canadian business faces in the 21st century.
Internationaltrade and investment are increasingly the lifeblood of Canadian prosperity, and a globally competitive economy will ensure a higher quality of life, increased job opportunities and a continuing capacity to support social goals.
InternationalTradeCanada will ensure that all federal trade and investment activities support the three Government of Canada imperatives, which are profoundly interconnected: building a 21st century economy; protecting and strengthening the social foundations of Canadian life; and securing for Canada a role of pride and influence in the world.
