Canada-Morocco Exploratory Discussions Towards Possible Free Trade Agreement Negotiations
In October 2009, the Government of Canada embarked on a comprehensive consultation process with the Canadian public, provinces and territories, businesses and non-governmental organizations to seek input and to help define the scope of a potential free trade initiative with Morocco. In parallel with these consultations, government officials from both countries took part in two rounds of exploratory discussions first in January 2009 in Rabat, and then in June 2009 in Ottawa.
On January 27, 2011, Canada announced it would begin negotiations towards a free trade agreement with Morocco.
In 2010, British Columbia exported $415 million of goods to the Middle East.
