Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)

The Harper government and European Commission still cannot agree on how to handle labour and environmental rules in the recently "concluded" Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement negotiations.

The Harper government may have broken the law by not making the full text of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) public and allowing for public input.

Harper's slam-dunk argument for the Canada-European Union 'free trade' agreement, often uncritically reported in the media, is that CETA is key to Canada's economic prosperity.

The agreement-in-principle signed in Brussels in mid-October touches on virtually all aspects of economic life, including many that are only loosely related to trade.

Canada's ICSID Convention ratification continues the Harper government's watering down of Canadian democracy and sellout to multinational corporate power.

A new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives suggests Harper's "excellent deal" with the European Union could add up to $1.65 billion annually to the price of medicine in Canada.

The Trade Justice Network has launched a simple petition with a simple message for Prime Minister Harper about the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement.
