Canadian Apparel Federation (CAF) Executive Director, Bob Kirke, appeared before the House of Commons Standing Committee on International Trade on May 10, 2012, to comment on a potential Canada-Japan Bilateral Trade Agreement.
In addition to expressing CAF's support for free trade with Japan, he focused on issues concerning the likely rule of origin.
He noted that the apparel industry has experienced numerous problems with the yarn-forward rule of origin for apparel established under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). CAF supports a Canada-Japan Bilateral Trade Agreement but recommends proceeding with a commercially viable rule of origin.
