In what year did Canada first enact free trade with the United States?

  1. 1988

  2. 1994

  3. 2000

  4. 1980

The correct answer is: 1988

Free trade between Canada and the United States was first enacted through the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement (CUSFTA) in 1988. This was in response to the signing of the Canada–United States Agreement on Government Procurement in 1986 and the completion of negotiations on the Canada–United States Automotive Products Agreement in 1965. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond with the year of the CUSFTA and related agreements.
