CETA and TPP

The latest proposed so-called ‘free trade’ deals, like their predecessors, would privatize and de-regulate the economy, worsen labour conditions, empower corporations to sue and obtain compensation from Canadian governments that ‘interfere’ in their ability to maximize profits, and would place more obstacles in the path of social ownership and public spending. The NDP should join with the Council of Canadians and others to actively campaign against the Canada-European Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), as well as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), and pledge to re-negotiate NAFTA.
