The report suggests that diversifying trade with other international partners would alleviate some economic disruptions, but not entirely offset the losses. Further measures beyond trade diversification are recommended to strengthen the Canadian economy in this scenario.

A new report by Deloitte Canada has examined the consequences of a potential withdrawal by the United States from the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). According to the findings, if the U.S. were to leave the trade pact, Canada would experience significant economic repercussions. While boosting trade with a more diverse array of international partners could help mitigate some of the impacts, it would not fully compensate for the economic gap created by such a U.S. exit. The report emphasizes that Canada needs to adopt a multi-faceted approach to reinforce its economy rather than relying solely on diversifying trade relationships. A more comprehensive strategy is essential to address the broader impacts that a U.S. exit from CUSMA would entail, highlighting the importance of considering factors beyond trade to bolster economic resilience. The implications of these findings are noteworthy for Canada's long-term economic planning and sustainability, particularly in the context of international trade dynamics.
