En 2026, el Tratado entre México, Estados Unidos, y Canadá (T-MEC) estará sujeto a revisión, y la posibilidad de cambios políticos significa que los gobiernos deberían comenzar a prepararse ahora.
Este informe evalúa el funcionamiento de T-MEC hasta la fecha y sugiere formas de ampliar las novedades del acuerdo basadas en los derechos y centradas en los trabajadoras y los trabajadores que mejoraron el TLCAN original. Aunque las elecciones nacionales transformarán los gobiernos de los tres países de aquí a la revisión de 2026, es probable que la política comercial centrada en los trabajadoras y los trabajadores de la actual administración estadounidense siga vigente. Por razones políticas, geoeconómicas y de seguridad nacional, ha surgido un consenso bipartidista sobre la necesidad de renovar la base manufacturera de América del Norte y proteger mejor a los trabajadoras y los los trabajadores de la competencia extranjera subsidiada (financieramente o mediante estándares laborales y ambientales más débiles).
Este informe examina cómo Canadá podría prepararse y los objetivos por alcanzar a partir de hoy.
