Canada Should Lead the Way to Renewed WTO Negotiations
Ottawa, Ontario—November 6, 2003
The Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance is urging Canadian Ministers and Negotiators to take a leadership role in the effort to move WTO negotiations on agriculture forward to reach agreement on a negotiating framework by mid-December.
"Canada is respected internationally as a leader in world trade negotiations," said CAFTA President Ted Menzies. "Our country should once again take the lead by going to the table with practical and forward looking proposals."
