The Organization
Established in 1989, CTPL specializes in helping governments in the design, negotiation and implementation of their international trade policy and trade law strategies. We provide professional training, trade capacity building, and strategic advisory services. Our expertise is derived from working with current and former senior trade policy negotiators, analysts and diplomats from Canada and around the world on the principal trade issues facing their respective countries. CTPL is jointly sponsored by the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA) at Carleton University and Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa.
