What it does

The Trade Controls program works to meet Canada’s obligations to control trade in specific goods and technologies. This is achieved by managing Canada’s international trade and security obligations pursuant to the Export and Imports Permits Act to control trade in specific goods and technologies. This program supports Canada’s overall trade relationships at the bilateral, regional and multilateral levels and includes issue management related to international trade policy. It also supports Canada's international arms control and counter-proliferation agenda, and support international and regional security efforts. Open markets and a stable, rules-based trading framework contribute to Canadian prosperity by assisting Canadian businesses to operate internationally and access international markets securely.
