JUST ADD THEM TO NAFTA:

More talks to come on Canada FTA (AP, 11/20/05)

Japan and Canada agreed Saturday to step up talks that began a year ago on expanding economic cooperation toward a possible free-trade accord, Japanese officials said.

Prime Minister Paul Martin and Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi signed the deal shortly after the end of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders' summit in Pusan.

Japan is Canada's second-largest export partner after the United States, although Canada's trade with the U.S., at 85 percent of overall Canadian trade, dwarfs its trade with Japan at 2 percent, or $7 billion a year, according to the Canadian government.
