STUDY ON THE PROPOSED CANADA-KOREA FREE TRADE AGREEMENT BY THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Ottawa, November 26, 2007 -

On 22 November 2007, the House of Commons Standing Committee on International Trade adopted a motion to conduct extensive hearings on the implications of the bilateral trade agreement currently being negotiated between Canada and the Republic of Korea.

The Committee believes that it is important to hear from Canadians on this topic. Its aim is to hear witnesses representing a variety of sectors and regions in Canada. When the hearings are completed, the Committee will issue a report with its findings and recommendations.

The Standing Committee on International Trade conducts studies on matters related to international trade and reports to the House of Commons. It is composed of 12 parliamentarians representing four political parties. It is chaired by Mr. Lee Richardson, MP for Calgary Centre.
