The Report and How MPs Voted<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Text of the Parliamentary International Trade Committee’s Important Report on Banning Water Exports:
\n<\/span><\/strong>
\nWhereas Canada’s water resources must be protected;Whereas NAFTA covers all services and all goods, except those that are expressly excluded and water is not excluded;<\/span><\/p>\n

Whereas this situation puts the provincial and federal laws concerning the protection of water including the prohibition of bulk water exports at risk;<\/p>\n

Whereas a simple agreement by exchange of letters among the governments of Canada, the United States and Mexico specifying that water is not covered by NAFTA must be respected by international tribunals as if it were an integral part of NAFTA;<\/p>\n

That the Standing Committee recommend that the government quickly begin talks with its American and Mexican counterparts to exclude water from the scope of NAFTA.<\/p>\n
