The post-war international consensus, resulting in the creation of the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO, has been increasingly challenged in recent years. The pandemic has accelerated calls for self-sufficiency and protectionism. The march towards ever-increasing international integration and global supply chains is being questioned more than ever. How will these trends manifest in the legal frameworks for trade and investment post-pandemic? Against this backdrop, please join us for a one-hour complimentary webinar where we will discuss:

  • Foreign investment review
    • Will more barriers to foreign investment be erected in Canada?
    • Will national security review be applied to investments in sectors well beyond traditional areas of national security concerns (military, defence, telecom, sensitive technology) to encompass a broad range of sectors (e.g., health-related products, scarce natural resources)?
    • Will foreign investments in certain sectors effectively require proof of significant benefit to Canada to overcome concerns about “self-sufficiency”? What terms might apply?
    • What obstacles to foreign investment are being established in other major jurisdictions?
  • International trade
    • Are more tariff and non-tariff barriers likely to emerge?
    • What will be the lasting impact of the pandemic on supply chains?
    • What is happening at the WTO? What is its role in a crisis like this?
    • Will the pandemic affect the implementation of the USMCA? Will it impact other trade agreements?
    • Crisis in the energy sector: Is a North American fortress approach possible?
