The Business Council on National Issues (BCNI) was an important lobbying group in Canada. It was most notable for its pro-free trade advocacy during the Prime Ministership of Brian Mulroney that led to the introduction of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement. During this period, the BCNI was led by Tom D'Aquino. In the 1988 federal election, the BCNI spent millions of dollars on advertisements in support of free-trade. It is now known as the Canadian Council of Chief Executives.
