Region Analysis
Canada has regional alliances with numerous countries and has free trade agreements in place with more than 10 countries. These free trade agreements “provide a competitive advantage across a wide range of sectors” states (Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Development Canada, 2014). “Under an FTA, a range of Canadian goods and services benefit from the reduction or elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade, such as quotas or technical barriers” states (Foreign Affairs, trade, and Development Canada, 2014).
Canada’s Prime Minister Mulroney signed and implemented the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Mexico and the United States in January 1994. “NAFTA has generated economic growth and rising standards of living for the people of all three member countries” states (Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Development Canada, 2014).

A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.
