Canadian agriâ€" culture has survived despite a short growing season and having 1/3 of our best farmland visible from the CN Tower.

In Oakville, meals were first delivâ€" ered during the 1960s to between 12 to 15 clients. The meals were prepared in the kitchen of the Chamber of "Increasing the pesticides in our foods." NAFTA reduces Canada‘s food safety regulations to the standards of the U.S. and Mexico. Foods certified by them will no longer be turned back at the border, even if they contain pestiâ€" cides above Canadian legal limits, because our food inspectors will not be allowed to challenge their safety. In the supermarket, we will face declining food quality for both meat and vegetaâ€" bles.

"Forced sales of Canada‘s energy reserves to other countries even in times of shortage." CELA reports that Canada‘s National Energy Board has been bullied by the FTA. The only time that the Energy Board turned down a natural gas export application, U.S. energy companies went to court under the FTA. The Energy Board immediateâ€" ly granted that and all subsequent appliâ€" cations. A team of lawyers, economists and trade consultants took t he last year and a half to evaluate how the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Canadaâ€"U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) affects our environment. Their predictions include lowering our enviâ€" ronmental health and safety standards, diverting our water south of the border and allowing appointed international panels to declare Canadian laws invalid. OBERTSONâ€"WaucK (CELA) These are not notes for a science ficâ€" tion novel or the mad ravings of some wildâ€"eyed Canadian nationalist â€" they are the startling conclusions of a 350â€" page report titled "The Environmental Implications of Trade Agreements" which was prepared for the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Energy (MOEE) by the Canadian Environmental Law Association We are forced to sell Canada‘s enerâ€" gy reserves to other countries even in times of shortage â€" and allow more pesâ€" ticides in our foods. Canadian family farms gradually destroyed by agriâ€"busiâ€" Free trade puts environment at risk ) "Diversion of our water south of the border." Both GATT and NAFTA list water as a tariff item, and they specify that countries cannot refuse to export any item they produce for themselves. Most American diversion projects require Canadian rivers to be dammed, flooding farmland and displacing people from their homes. What will be the effect on us? CELA reports that workplace safety will deteriâ€" orate as higher levels of toxins are allowed. As air, water, and food quality decline even further, allergies will be aggravated. Children and the aged will suffer the most. under NAFTA to process food for export to Canada, thus undercutting Canadian farmers. We will no longer be selfâ€"sufficient in food, our most fundaâ€" mental guarantee of independence. "Lowering our environmental health and safety standards." NAFTA contains a complex scheme to establish consisâ€" tency among U.S., Canadian, and Mexican standards by "appointed interâ€" national organizations" â€" none of which are accountable to local or national citizens. Similar provisions in the FTA were used in 1989 to strike down conâ€" servation measures intended to protect salmon and herring stocks in British Columbia.

"International panels declaring Canadian laws invalid." Both NAFTA and the FTA override domestic legislaâ€" tion. In 1993, an FTA disputeâ€"settlement panel ruled that Canadian controls on the export of logs were an unfair trading practice, thus establishing trade before conservation. The CELA report predicts that under NAFTA more Canadians will lose their jobs, following the thousands of jobs which have moved south followâ€" ing FTA. As provincial governments lose their ability to pass conservation legislation, resources fall under the conâ€" trol of multinational corporations. We become required to sell our resources whether we want to or not.
