  • News Release
    June 29, 2016 Standing Committee on International Trade 6th Floor 131 Queen Street House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 via email: [email protected] Dear Committee Members: In recent months, there has been a great deal of debate about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and what it means for Canada. The federal government has committed to a study of the agreement’s potential impacts on the Canadian economy; however, to date nothing has been made public, and we have been told no such study yet exists. How can the government possibly sign onto a massive international trade agreement without knowing the impacts it will have, or the potential consequences for the Canadian economy, the public and the environment? In fact, it would be irresponsible to proceed in this way. A genuine and independent economic impact analysis that considers all the implications of this agreement should be mandatory. Possibly one of the reasons for this failure to do an impact study is that the government knows full well that any benefits from the TPP will be marginal at best, while the damage done will be serious. A 2016 study from the C.D. Howe Institute predicts that the macroeconomic impact of the TPP on the Canadian economy would be a mere 0.068% growth in GDP by 2035. Perhaps even more interesting is that the study predicts only a 0.026% drop in GDP by 2035 if Canada does not ratify the TPP. This mirrors the recent US International Trade Commission’s study that showed that the TPP will increase the US trade deficit and will have almost no positive impact on the US economy.

We deeply regret to hear of the deaths of two workers from the mill. Our thoughts are with the entire community, particularly with the families of those who perished and the twenty two who were injured. At times filled with grief such as these, it is when we most rely on the strength and love of our community. As part of the greater British Columbian community we would like to offer our support. We are glad to hear that WorkSafeBC will be looking into this and will continue the call for action to prevent tragedies like this in the future. Bums Lake suffered a similar tragedy at Babine Forest Products early this year. The courage and commitment of that community to support the families most impacted is truly inspiring. We offered support in that tragedy and will continue to work with the mayor, the union and the company. Once again, we offer our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and co-workers at Lakeland Mills and to the entire community of Prince George. Sincerely, /~~ ~~ Jean Crowder, MP Alex Atamanenko, MP Don Davies, MP Nanaimo-Cowichan BC Southern Interior Vancouver-Kingsway ~\: (~\,~ }.;, hbv;i):w ;q Nathan Cullen, MP Libby Davies, MP Fin Donnelly, MP Skeena-Bulkley Valley Vancouver East New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody I,_,{---: )-~- ~ v--­ lf,,.j~Q.~01'\ ll r~\L- ' Randall Garrison, MP Peter Julian, MP Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca Jasbir Sandhu, MP Burnaby-New Westminster Surrey North - ~ :J)n ~Ssi.
