This paper examines data from the International Monetary Fund’s International Financial Statistics database to see how bilateral trade patterns between Canada, Mexico, and the United States changed as a consequence of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In the case of U.S-Mexican and U.S-Canadian trade, animal export and import data were converted to percentages of total trade. A pooled variance means test was then used to see if there was a significant difference between the growth of trade in the pre-and post-NAFTA periods. In addition, the Mann-Whytney-Wilcoxin test was also performed on each of the trade between the United States and Mexico. There was additional evidence to indicate that Mexican-Canadian trade growth rate changed as a result of the agreement
