Trilateral Committee on Transborder Data Flows

The Trilateral Committee on Transborder Data Flows is composed of government representatives of each of the three member countries and has been working in consultation with the business communities in each country to identify and address impediments to electronic information flows across borders that affect economic growth. 

The purpose of the Committee is to provide a vision and strategic direction for addressing these problems as well as visibility on the importance that information flows freely in support of a growing and efficient North American market. 

Since late 2008, the Committee held consultation forums in each of the three countries and produced a final consultation report summarizing the findings and recommendations to move forward.
