Are Canadians being kept in the dark on the FTAA negotiations?
• No. Openness and transparency are fundamental to the way in which Canada approaches trade negotiations. • Canada’s position for all trade negotiations is developed by the Government of Canada in partnership with provincial and territorial governments, and reflects the results of extensive consultations with Canadian stakeholders, including Parliamentarians and citizens. • These consultations are an important part of the Government’s overall commitment to ensure that Canada’s position continues to reflect the interests of all Canadians. • Canada’s position and proposals in each negotiating area can be found on International Trade Canada’s FTAA web site.
