Abstract
Canada is one of the least self-sufficient countries in the world. It is a trading nation. Over thirty percent of the Canadian Gross National Product comes from export of goods and services, mainly to the USA, Western Europe, and Japan.
In most countries, trade policies — trading of goods and natural resources; investment abroad; rates of exchange; private financing practices — affect environmental regulations. However, in Canada, the reverse may be true. Thus, this paper addresses the question of whether Canadian environmental regulations adversely affect Canadian international trade.
Part of the answer to this question appears in the commercial exchanges between Canada and Eastern Europe. The first section of this paper discusses these trade relations. The second section examines the Canadian environmental regulations governing these exchanges.
