    In the most basic terms - to free the flow of goods from Canada, the US and Mexico allowing the 3 partners to sell stuff to each other without tariffs.

    The first answer gave a clear definition, but it also had some bias and therefore did not give you the whole story. Yes it has beneficial for some, but also hurt others. Mexican corn farmers faced a 50% reduction in the price of corn when highly subsidized corn cam from the US into Mexico. There is vast opposition to NAFTA and other free trade agreements.
