A 2012 joint study by the two governments prepared at the outset of negotiations for an economic partnership agreement (EPA) suggested that such an agreement would benefit both economies, with expected gross domestic product (GDP) gains between US$3.8-billion and US$9-billion for Canada and GDP gains of approximately US$5-billion for Japan.
