Canada ratifies CUSMA

Bill C-4, An Act to implement the Agreement between Canada, the United States of America and the United Mexican States, passed final reading in the Parliament of Canada on March 13, and was subsequently ratified through Royal Assent. Canada had to complete its legislative process for Bill C-4 before notification can be executed under the relevant CUSMA provisions. Assuming such notification is executed before the end of March, CUSMA should enter into force on June 1, per the relevant CUSMA provisions.

A Tax Alert prepared by Ernst & Young Canada, and attached below, provides additional details.
