Exposing The Security And Prosperity Partnership!

Posted on Wednesday, April 25 at 11:34 by whelan costen
“This is the only the beginning,” stated Julian. “We must have a full and accountable public debate and expose the entire agenda around the SPP. The NDP will continue to push for full parliamentary oversight and public disclosure of SPP”. The SPP was launched in March of 2005 by the former Martin Liberal government, who played a lead role in creating the SPP, also called deep integration. The SPP is a trilateral initiative to fast-track the integration of Canada and Mexico with the United States. The SPP is now being pushed more aggressively by the Harper Conservative government. The NDP has been the only party in Canada’s Parliament to oppose the deep integration agenda and to propose an ethical and fair trade model. “NDP MPs have been fighting all manifestations of the SPP at different levels. More than a dozen NDP MPs have played a very active role in fighting this agenda and trying to bring the negative impacts of the push for deeper integration policies to light,” said Julian. “What is being discussed is nothing less than the future of this country. And average Canadians from coast to coast to coast believe our country has a right to exist independently. We can play a key role both in North America and the world as a proud and sovereign nation.” The SPP is an agenda that stretches across most ministries in the federal government, aiming to harmonize Canadian social, economic, and security policies and institutions with those of the U.S., and to deregulate or reduce regulation in more than 300 different policy areas. Recent manifestations have shown that vital issues, such as bulk water exports, water diversion, Canada-U.S. border issues and much greater sellouts of Canada’s energy resources to the U.S. are part and parcel of this agenda that has been championed by the Canadian Council for Chief Executives and kept away from the public eye. “The NDP will not stop until a full parliamentary debate and review takes place,” said Julian. “These hearings are only the first step to that goal.” - 30 - For more information, please contact: Office of Peter Julian: 613-992-4214 *** POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE LE 25 AVRIL 2007 LE NPD OBTIENT LES PREMIÈRES AUDIENCES PARLEMENTAIRES SUR LE PSP Finis les secrets, exige Peter Julian OTTAWA – Le Comité permanent sur le commerce international tiendra les premières audiences sur le soi-disant Partenariat nord-américain pour la sécurité et la prospérité (PSP) en Amérique du Nord grâce aux efforts du critique du NPD en matière de commerce international, Peter Julian (Burnaby - New Westminster). Le député Julian s’est dit heureux d’avoir réussi à soulever ces questions su sein du comité. Les membres auront l’occasion d’évaluer ce projet d’intégration profonde de l’Amérique du Nord, un projet qui, jusqu’à présent, a uniquement fait l’objet de discussions à huis clos. Les audiences télévisées se tiendront le 26 avril, le 1er mai et le 3 mai 2007 à Ottawa. « Ce n’est que le début », a dit le député Julian. « Il nous faut un débat transparent, public et en profondeur pour dévoiler le programme du PSP. Le NPD continuera à exercer une pression pour que le PSP soit surveillé par le Parlement et pour que le public puisse savoir exactement ce qui se passe. » Le PSP a été lancé en mars 2005 par l’ancien gouvernement libéral de Paul Martin, qui a joué un rôle de premier plan dans la création du PSP, à savoir l’intégration profonde. Le PSP est une initiative trilatérale qui vise à accélérer l’intégration du Canada, du Mexique et des États-Unis. Le gouvernement conservateur de Stephen Harper tient mordicus à faire adopter ce programme à la hâte. Le NPD est le seul parti au Parlement canadien qui s’oppose au programme d’intégration profonde et qui préconise un modèle éthique de commerce équitable. « Les députés du NPD se battent contre toutes les manifestations du PSP à différents niveaux. Plus qu’une douzaine de députés néo-démocrates ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans la lutte contre ce programme en essayant de faire la lumière sur les conséquences négatives des politiques d’intégration profonde », a affirmé le député Julian. « Il y va de l’avenir de notre pays. L’ensemble des Canadiens d’un bout du pays à l’autre croient que notre pays a le droit d’exister de façon indépendante. Nous pouvons jouer un rôle clé en Amérique du Nord et à l’échelle globale en tant que pays souverain et fier. » Le PSP, un programme qui s’étend sur la plupart des ministères du gouvernement fédéral, a pour but d’harmoniser les politiques sociales, économiques et en matière de sécurité ainsi que les institutions canadiennes avec celles des États-Unis, et de déréglementer ou réduire les règlements dans plus de 300 domaines politiques. Récemment, il s’est avéré que des questions essentielles, telles que l’exportation de l’eau en vrac, la diversion de l’eau, les enjeux portant sur la frontière canado-américaine et l’abandon d’encore plus de ressources énergétiques canadiennes aux États-Unis vont de pair avec ce programme secret, dont le Conseil canadien des chefs d’entreprises s’est fait le champion. « Le NPD ne s’arrêtera pas jusqu’à ce cette question soit débattue et analysée au Parlement », a dit le député Julian. « Ces audiences nous rapprochent de ce but. » - 30 - Pour de plus amples renseignements, veuillez contacter : Bureau de Peter Julian : 613-992-4214

    I know what you mean. I am trying to find out when it will be televised. Probably
    on CPAC, hopefully not in the middle of the night. However it is now a small
    snowball and we can start rolling it! It is the beginning....

    Never mind a damn debate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ANY elected who is found to be involved in or is found to be complicit in this "plan" or those elected who seek debate about its viability; we should ask for their heads and demand their immediate and unconditional resignations, period. Otherwise you are just playing their game and they are way better at it than you or I are, period!

    NO DEBATE - CANADA FIRST OR GET THE HELL OUT OF PARLIAMENT!!!!

    I hear you true patriot! But up until this declaration they weren't even admitting
    it was happening...so first find out who's involved, how deeply etc etc and then I
    agree OUT! And we should be finding out how they can be held accountable,
    prosecuted etc etc. But it is a huge step to shining the light on the subject. imo

    I'm glad to see that the NDP may finally be getting the lead out and start screaming. I've been bugging them for months.

    Of course little Tom d'Aquino is denying the whole thing, proving for the thousandth time that big business is built on, exists and survives on fraud, deceit and theft.

    They remind me of the phone call, one of dozens, I received today, congratulating me for "winning" 6 days of all expenses paid vacation for 4 at Cancun. I was so overjoyed that I forgot to press button #1 for the details.

    Just imagine, I won without having entered anything !!!!!!!

    The information I got from an NDP bulletin about TV coverage is:

    " Julian is pleased that he succeeded in bringing this before the committee and that the members will have the opportunity to study the North American deep integration project that has until now been discussed only behind closed boardroom doors. The televised hearings will be held on April 26, May 1st and 3rd, 2007 in Ottawa."

    Faxed off Freedom of Information request for the SPP minutes from the Ottawa meeting on Feb. 23/07. Got a reply from Director Jocelyne Sabourin today saying they will examine it shortly.

    Muhahahaha!

    If they respond - they are BUSTED! If it's not a govenment initiative, why does the government keep a record of it!?!

    Because governments, being what they are, can't help but keep records on everything, even the stuff they don't want to keep records of?

    Just a thought. hehheh ;)
