Book excerpt: The true meaning of many of these clauses will not be fully understood until the limits are tested by a dispute panel process that enables the parties to the agreement, individuals, and corporations to launch complaints against governments, and to be awarded compensation for violations. [...] For example, one panel stated: "In signing the Agreement, the Parties recognized that constitutionally valid measures may be contrary to the Agreement and may need to be changed in order to achieve the objectives of the Agreement."9 TILMA, by pairing the strict wording of the AIT with the ability of private investors to enforce it, will significantly limit the policy space provincial and local gov [...] TILMA's first article states that in the event of an inconsistency between it and the AIT, "the provision that is more conducive to liberalized trade, investment and labour mobility prevails between the Parties." This clause means that in bringing complaints against governments, private interests will be able to choose the provisions from either the AIT or TILMA that are the most favourable to the [...] Governments, if their example, that regulations measures were challenged, might put forward alternative, less that restrict the "expansion forceful definitions to the words "restrict" and "impair."16 It would then be up to a panel to decide from the range of possible of an enterprise" such as a meanings what "impair" and "restrict" mean in the context of the chemical plant or ski resort agreement [...] According to the AIT panel in the Alberta/Quebec complainant needs only to margarine case, neither the complainant nor the panel have to establish a "prima facie" case "engage in a detailed economic analysis of the measure's impact."

Book excerpt: This thesis examines the comprehensive Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) that was signed in 2006 by the governments of Alberta and British Columbia. The central objective is to examine why two successive Saskatchewan governments chose not to sign the TILMA. This thesis also examines the TILMAs influence on subsequent developments in internal trade policy reform in Canada. The three central research questions are: What is the TILMA, and how does it fit within the existing internal trade regulatory regime established under the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT)? Why did Saskatchewan not sign the TILMA? What effect, if any, has the TILMA had on establishing a new model or paradigm for internal trade policy in Canada? The key findings are that Saskatchewan did not sign the TILMA because Alberta and British Columbia would not accede to its demands to make exemptions for the procurement practices of municipalities and the subsidiaries of crown corporations. Another factor was the decision by the Saskatchewan government to launch a public consultation process before ratifying the agreement. The public consultation process provided the opponents of the agreement (i.e., municipal government, labour and non-governmental organizations) with an opportunity to organize and express their opposition to the agreement. Their strong opposition to the agreement during those consultations led both the NDP Government and subsequently a cautious Saskatchewan Party Government, which only had a slim majority in the legislature to walk away from what was being portrayed in the media as a very contentious policy decision. Their choice stands in contrast to that of the Liberal and Conservative Governments of British Columbia and Alberta respectively, that chose to sign the TILMA prior to undertaking consultations with the public and community stakeholders. In 2010 the Saskatchewan Party government would sign the New West Partnership Trade Agreement that included almost al.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a recent OECD/IOM/World Bank seminar, this publication examines the opportunities and challenges raised by the current WTO services negotiations on the temporary movement of service suppliers, under mode 4 of the WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). The book explores possible options for building greater understanding between trade and migration policymakers and suggests ways to realise potential gains for developed and developing countries alike. Powerful drivers for liberalisation include increased trade and investment, strengthened global business networks, skills shortages in developed countries, and increasing export capacity in skilled labour in developing countries. However, issues of concern remain, including how far 'mode 4' will contribute to a 'brain drain' in developing countries, and its impact upon the sensitive issue of how countries will regulate the entry of foreigners into their territory.
