Why Should We be Concerned?

The deep integration agenda is being implemented
without debate or input from the public.
The SPP (see NAU Timeline at right) was signed without the backing of Parliament, and without the general knowledge or acceptance of the Canadian public.

Democracy in Action?

From September 12-14, 2006, in Banff, Alberta, a secret conference was hosted by Canada’s business elite, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives..Among the attendees were high ranking government officials and corporate CEO’s from Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.

Why won't parliament Wake Up and debate Canada's fate?

NAUAlert! calls for:

  • A moratorium on the NAU
  • Full disclosure and debate concerning details of the NAU
  • A National Water Policy
  • An Independent Energy Security Plan
  • Bank of Canada financed Renewal Fund for Public Health Care
  • Abrogate NAFTA; begin fair trade negotiations with our trading partners

It is opposed by labor, environmental and human rights groups because it would eliminate the ability of Government bodies to amend or moderate anti-worker, environmentally risky and undemocratic components of trade deals reached by the Executive of National Administrations.
