Review of the TRQ administration for all products

In one of the recent notices, Global Affairs Canada has referred to a complete review of the TRQ administration for all products, as follows:

Given the significant increase in Canada’s tariff rate quotas commitments in recent years, the Government of Canada will undertake a broad-based stakeholder engagement exercise in 2019 to review the overall administration of Canada’s systems of TRQs.

While TRQs will continue to be administered independently of one another, in accordance with Canada’s international obligations, the review exercise will ensure that TRQ allocation and administration continue to be conducted in an efficient and effective manner. This exercise will commence in spring 2019.
