Please come to an information meeting to be part of a national consultation on Canadian trade governance organized by professors Michèle Rioux and Daniel Drache under the aegis of the “Center for Integration and Globalization, UQAM.”

Canada, like many other countries in the world, seems to be engaged in a process to ensure that globalization and trade agreements lead to gains for all its citizens. Twenty years after the signing of NAFTA, the creation of the WTO, and in the context of the proliferation of bilateral agreements, social issues related to trade are now at the heart of societal and political debates. It is in this context that the Center for Integration and Globalization Studies (CEIM) is conducting a consultation on how to modernize Canada's approach to international trade towards a truly socially responsible trade policy. A 10 questions survey will be at the core of this initiative. We will: 1) test the waters online, and (2) start organizing a public consultations in five major Canadian cities (Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Vancouver and Saskatoon). A website (csr.uqam.ca) has been created to facilitate participation online and / or by registering to attend the workshops. No registration is required to complete the survey online. A pre-consultation workshop will take place May 29th and June 1st in Montréal (UQAM). This session organised in Toronto intends to seek inputs on the process and to plan the consultations in Toronto in the early autumn.
