Best Answer

It helps countries concentrate on their strengths and helps provide goods at lower costs than they would be able to produce themselves. Items such as tropical foods such as bananas, pineapples, sugar, tea and coffee are obvious examples. Canada could either not produce those items or only at prohibitive costs.

The Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade estimates that 43% of Canadian gross domestic product came from trade and 25% of Canada's jobs came from exports. Economist Daniel Trefler of the University of Toronto estimates that Canada benefited from the Free Trade agreement with the US.
