On February 19, the CLHIA submitted a letter to the House of Commons Standing Committee on International Trade calling on the federal government to pass Bill C-4, an act to implement the agreement between Canada, the United States of America, and the United Mexican States (CUSMA) as soon as possible. The letter reiterated the industry's support for the free trade agreement and encouraged the government to maintain the NAFTA Financial Services Committee, which provided a mechanism for regulators in the three countries to share information and discuss areas of concern in the financial services sector.
