Abstract
Since the 1950s, Canada’s historically close trade and investment relationship with the countries of the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) has been complemented by an important programme of economic assistance. CARICOM has 15 members: Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. Haiti is the newest member of the Community; it joined in July 1997.
