Although many officials in the Department of External Affairs believed that a continental free trade agreement was in Canada’s best interests, King confided to his diary that he could not let the negotiations go forward because a successful outcome would destroy the British Empire and Commonwealth: ‘I am sure in so doing, I have made one of the most important decisions for Canada, for the British Commonwealth of Nations that has been made at any time.’1 In October 1949, while being fêted in London, Prime Minister Sydney Holland of New Zealand, made one of his characteristic spontaneous and ill considered statements. He declared, ‘I want the people of Britain to know that we will send all the food that they need, even if we have to send it free’.2 These two stories tell historians a lot.

  • Ppbs and the Choice of Policy Alternatives
    ' ... PPBS AND THE CHOICE OF POLICY ALTERNATIVES by "'- Paulos MUkias ABSTRACT The research traces the evolution of PPBS through early reform movements. Case studies of the New York Bureau of Municipal Research, the Borough of Richmond, the United States Department of Defense and the Canadian Treasury Board are con­ ducted because of their special significance. The study is divided into two parts. The first part describes the circumstances leading to the evolution of PPBS. Similar reform movement~ that were going on in Canada are briefly discussed and a special effort is made to assess the impact of the transplantation of PPBS in the Canadian system. The second part attempts to portray PPBS decision making both in theory and practice, the main aim being to relate PPBS policy alternative selection to political re al ity . An empirical study was con­ ducted in the Canadian Treasury Board to test several hypotheses that portray PPBS as a hybrid rather than a ratmnal or an iJncremental budgeting model.

  • Standing Firm on Free Trade Interview with the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney
    A DECADE OF FREE TRADE Standing Firm On Free Trade Interview with the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney Brian Mulroney will likely go down in Cana- dian history as the Prime Minister who introduced the most controversial changes in economic policy in the last half century, especially the Canada-US Free Trade Agree- ment. Many Canadians voted against free trade in the 1988 federal election, and some continue to argue against it. But with the benefits of the actual deal now showing themselves, the historical epitaphs will sure- ly recognise the value of Mulroney’s political courage and economic foresight.

INTRODUCTION The Declaration on Trade made by Prime Minister Mulroney and Presi- dent Reagan at their meeting in Quebec City on March 17-18, 1985, could lead to developments of historic importance in Canada-United States trade relations. The two leaders agreed on the objective of reduc- ing and removing tariff and other barriers to cross-border trade, and called for a report within six months "on all possible ways" to achieve this objective. They also committed themselves to halt protectionism in cross-border trade in goods and services. They announced the resolution of a number of existing irritants in bilateral trade, or action aimed at resolving them. And,

This work may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without permission of the author. ii ABSTRACT: This thesis on water and social activism in Canada is a journey into the realm of shared social understanding. Water is too precious to all forms of life to simply permit commodification for the benefit of a few at the expense of the many. The Sun Belt case adjudicated under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) when compared with what prevailed under previous Canadian national law reveals severe limits to state sovereignty. A high measure of support has already been manifest around concerns and considerations which pertain to water and the potential for the growth of social activism with reference to water may well be unprecedented in Canada. There are fundamental inequalities found within the Sun Belt case. Current international trade policy coupled with private banking practices does not value the principles of sustainability, equality and justice because it is committed to the commodification of the “commons”.
