To ease trade restrictions over a 10-year-old limit

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was an agreement that began in 1994 between the North American nations of Canada, the United States and Mexico.  It replaced an older agreement between the US and Canada and created a 3-way trade bloc intended to promote a mutual beneficial relationship of commerce across the continent.
