John says that as Canada prepares for a possible renegotiation of NAFTA, we should use the current situation as an opportunity to strengthen our long-term strategic partnership with Mexico. The country is one of the world's pre-eminent emerging economies and has the 15th-largest GDP in the world - Canada ranks 10th. ?John is the former Canadian chief negotiator for NAFTA. John also explains why it would be a loss for Canada if the U.S. backed out of NAFTA and we had to fall back on the Canada-U.S. FTA.
