Canada - Peru Deal
Submitted by dawn on Thu, 02/12/2009 - 23:07
The Canada-Peru deal was quietly tabled on January 27th (budget day!).
That means there is just a week or so left for comments (it is tabled
for 21 days).
This is the first FTA to be going through the new process for approval the conservatives brought in. My understanding is that the 21 days during which the FTA is tabled is when it's up for discussion. Following that, an FTA can be ratified with no vote. The enacting legislation will eventually have to be voted on.

Outspoken peace activist, Nobel Peace Prize Nominee and Coordinating Director of Israel's Committee Against House Demolitions, Jeff Halper spoke at Dalhousie University on Tuesday January 13th..
More than 500 people were packed into the small Potter Auditorium that evening. The room was so full that the audience was spilling into the aisles and some people were even standing on the stage just to catch a glimpse of Halper.
In his one-hour talk, entitled, 'Global Gaza', Halper spoke about Israel’s current offense on Gaza where more than 1000 Palestinians have already been killed.

This has outraged international public opinion, resulting in massive mobilizations across the globe in defence of Gaza. On Saturday January 24th, from 1 to 6 pm, the Opening Session of the Halifax Teach-In on Palestine will be held.
