This guide addresses issues relating to indoor air quality that are common in an office building setting and promotes best practices.

This guide applies to office buildings of any size in Canada and is intended for use by employers and building owners and operators. It applies to non-industrial and non-residential workplace settings, which may include buildings with meeting rooms, lunchrooms, and small kitchens.

Guidance for indoor air quality professionals

There may be situations where it is necessary for building owners or operators to enlist the services of qualified indoor air quality professionals or organizations that have the necessary skills, training, and equipment to investigate and remediate complex indoor air quality issues.

This guide is a resource intended primarily for air quality professionals, including heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning professionals and occupational hygienists. It is intended to provide information on the health effects of specific air contaminants, approaches to reduce indoor air quality health risks, as well as guidance on managing air sampling and monitoring.

GLOBAL AFFAIRS CANADA

Consulting Canadians on the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)

The Government of Canada is committed to strengthening and deepening relationships with its North American partners and to ensuring continued North American competitiveness and prosperity.

The Government of Canada is seeking the views of Canadians about the operation of the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). CUSMA entered into force on July 1, 2020, replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that had been in force since January 1, 1994.

In 2026, the first joint review of CUSMA will be undertaken. The review is an opportunity to reaffirm the Agreement’s success and ensure that it remains fit for purpose in a changing global landscape.  To prepare for the review, the Government conducted an initial phase of public consultations through the Canada Gazette, from August 17, 2024, to October 31, 2024. A report of what we heard through those initial consultations can be found at https://international.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/consultations/trade/2024-08-17-cusma-operation/report.

As we approach the 2026 joint review, the Government of Canada is initiating a second phase of public consultations, including through this notice. To that end, the Government of Canada is seeking your views and experiences on key areas of CUSMA that are working well and on potential areas for improvement. Your views will help to inform Canada’s preparations for the joint review in 2026 and other efforts to ensure the effective operation of the Agreement.

This notice is just one part of the Government of Canada’s ongoing domestic consultation process with stakeholders, provinces and territories, Indigenous peoples, businesses including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), civil society organizations, labour unions, academia, and individual Canadians.

As steps are taken to ensure that more Canadians have access to the benefits and opportunities that flow from international trade and investment, traditionally underrepresented groups such as women, SMEs, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, youth, 2SLGBTQI+, and racialized communities are especially encouraged to provide their input.

Background

CUSMA, and NAFTA before it, have driven North American trade, market and supply chain integration, and supported collective prosperity for more than thirty years, providing certainty for business and investors. The CUSMA Parties have benefited from preferential market access under the Agreement. In 2024, the total value of trilateral merchandise trade between Canada, the United States, and Mexico was $2.01 trillion, a 4% increase from 2023.

CUSMA sets high standards for trade in North America, which is particularly important for Canadian businesses, workers and communities. This includes outcomes in areas such as labour, environment, automotive trade, dispute resolution, culture, energy, and agriculture and agri-food. CUSMA also includes provisions on gender and Indigenous peoples’ rights.

To allow the Parties to take stock of the operation of CUSMA and ensure the Agreement remains up to date and adapted to the evolving economic landscape, a review and term extension clause was included in CUSMA (Article 34.7). The CUSMA Parties will undertake the first joint review of the Agreement in 2026, which will be an opportunity to discuss the functioning of the Agreement, assess the progress of its implementation and consider how to ensure the Agreement is robust enough to address future challenges and to ensure continued North American competitiveness and prosperity.
