"... We understand that the provinces and territories have by now submitted initial CETA offers to the federal government, and that this agreement will be on the agenda at the upcoming Council of the Federation meeting in Winnipeg. We are writing to urge you to consult widely and publicly in your respective provinces and territories on these offers. The people you represent need to hear what your government hopes to achieve through the CETA negotiations and what the trade‐offs are. It is fundamental to democracy that interested members of the public be given the opportunity to ask questions, express concerns, and shape your government’s position with respect to CETA and any other trade agreement for that matter."
