NDP Tables Motion
that Would Make SPP Working Groups More Accountable
By Dana Gabriel
NDP trade Critic Peter
Julian tabled a motion on February 12 in the House of Commons that would
make the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) working groups more
accountable. Some might recall that it was because of Julian's efforts
that the Standing Committee on International Trade held hearings on the
SPP last year in Canada.
In his recent motion Julian said, “the government should ensure that
Parliament is informed and consulted on the progress of each of the working
groups of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America by
mandating that each working group file with Parliament a quarterly report
to be reviewed by the appropriate standing committee, which should include
information on each working group meeting, specific issues discussed,
status report on existing objectives, projects and agendas, including
any new additional actions or projects decided on by the working groups,
and an account of which stakeholders were consulted.”
Upwards of 20 working groups along with over 300 agencies are quietly
and with little or no scrutiny harmonizing regulations, writing policy
initiative, and recommendations. They are integrating our laws into a
North American structure, and by engaging in policy making they must be
made more accountable. All to often, their activities go unnoticed without
any proper public or governmental oversight.
It is in the shadows that a North American Union is being forged by unelected,
accountable bureaucrats working side by side with the business elite.
The whole SPP process lacks transparency, and this motion tabled by the
NDP will hopefully shed more light on the working groups. The North American
Union is being created incrementally, expanding upon NAFTA and using the
SPP as its framework.
While the NDP should be applauded for their efforts, this is just another
step in exposing and defeating this agenda. A North American Union is
being created, and it is the working groups that are laying the foundation
for deeper integration. The only way to stop this agenda is to walk away
from it, disband the working groups, and cancel any harmonization that
might have already taken place.
This is a greed-driven agenda, and if completed, it will represent the
complete corporate takeover of North America, the end of our borders,
sovereignty, and another step towards global governance. Ultimately it
should be the people of Canada, the U.S., and Mexico who decide on a North
American Union.
