NAFTA (NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT)
Canada is signator to a number of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, but none is as
significant as the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, the United States of
America, and Mexico. NAFTA was an extension of an earlier bilateral treaty between Canada and
the U.S. (known simply as “The Free Trade Agreement”). As Canada is very much an exporting
nation (and a huge percentage of its export trade is with the United States), this is an extremely
important pact with an enormous effect upon Canada’s economy. As this trade pact involves two
other countries, there are non-Canadian titles worthy of inclusion. Related topics: COMMER-
CIAL ARBITRATION, INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW.
ALENA (ACCORD DE LIBRE-ÉCHANGE NORD-AMÉRICAIN)
Vaste domaine couvrant plus de la moitié des branches du droit. On utilise cette expression
pour désigner l’ensemble des dimensions juridiques applicables à la conduite des affaires
(« doing business »). L’expression « Droit commercial » tend à disparaître avec le nouveau Code
civil du Québec. Plusieurs aspects du droit des affaires font l’objet d’une rubrique distincte :
BANCAIRE (DROIT), COMMERCIAL INTERNATIONAL (DROIT), COMPAGNIES, CONCUR-
RENCE (DROIT DE LA), CONSOMMATEUR, FAILLITE ET INSOLVABILITÉ, FISCALITÉ, FRAN-
CHISE, LETTRES DE CHANGE, COPROPRIÉTE ; SOCIÉTÉS ET ASSOCIATIONS et VALEURS
MOBILIÈRES. Il s’ensuit que tout ouvrage qui porte sur l’ensemble du droit des affaires ne peut
être considéré que comme une introduction.
