Protect supply management: dairy farmers

Nova Scotia dairy farmers are worried the prime minister might be putting supply management on the table in NAFTA negotiations.

On Sunday during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, Justin Trudeau suggested Canada was considering allowing U.S. dairy products greater access to the Canadian market as part of the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

This prompted the Dairy Farmers of Canada to send a stronglyworded letter to Trudeau on Monday. The Dairy Farmers of Nova Scotia will ask producers in the province to contact their MPs.

Supply management, a system that has been in place since the 1970s, protects producers of dairy, eggs and poultry by curbing the import of foreign products through tariffs. It also prevents overproduction by imposing quotas.

The system has been a thorny issue during various trade negotiations, including this round of NAFTA talks. Critics argue it increases the cost of milk products for consumers and inhibits competition.

Supporters of supply management maintain that it does not affect prices in a significant way, that it benefits the Canadian economy — especially in rural areas — and that it benefits consumers who are getting a more local product that meets high standards.

Brian Cameron is the general manager of Dairy Farmers of Nova Scotia, the province’s milk marketing board.

Speaking with The Chronicle Herald on Wednesday, Cameron said farmers are spooked by the statement, especially in light of what he said is a trend toward giving away access to Canada’s market in recent trade negotiations.

As part of its World Trade Organization commitments, Canada already imports about five per cent of its cheese and five per cent of its butter from other nations. Cameron pointed to the 2016 CETA deal, in which Canada increased access to its market for European cheese producers by another four per cent. The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, also signed in 2016, saw additional access equal to three per cent of Canada’s total milk supply.

“It’s a real concern for our industry but also we think for Canadians, because there’s merit in having our farmers feed our population.”

Cameron said allowing foreign access undermines the supply management system, gives less business to Canadian farmers, and breeds uncertainty in the industry.

“This is the first indication that we’ve had that this government is at all considering including dairy access under NAFTA, because dairy was exempt when NAFTA was originally set out,” he said.

“The agriculture minister has said he supports supply management, but giving additional access for dairy or any other commodity at the trade table is harmful. How can you say you support something if you turn around and hurt it?”

Though Nova Scotia only has about 210 licenced dairy farmers, who produce around two per cent of the Canadian supply, Cameron said it’s a big part of the agricultural economy, as well as many rural economies.

On top of that, Cameron said dairy makes up close to 40 per cent of the value of agricultural production, and if you add in other supply managed industries, that figure is close to 50 per cent.
Cumberland-Colchester MP Bill Casey agrees.

“To lose supply management, I feel, would have a huge impact on the province of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and even more in the rural areas,” he said.

Casey told The Chronicle Herald that he’s heard the concerns from dairy farmers in his riding, and said he’s confident supply management will be protected, and not further degraded, in NAFTA negotiations.

Casey said while he can’t speculate on what the prime minister meant by his comments on NBC, he has heard nothing from his government to indicate there is a softening of Canada’s position

Meanwhile, Cameron said dairy farmers will continue to make sure their position is known to those around the NAFTA negotiation table up until the deal goes down.

Hello Lisa,

David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became
an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our federal
election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of
Fundy (now called  Fundy-Royal).

I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That
story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written
by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on
the candidates' debate held June 18.

As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election.
The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358.

I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo
taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo
that ran, but this one is very similar.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd

By Erin Hatfield

"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."

The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.

The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.

The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.

Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."

Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.

The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."

The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.

Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You're out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.

As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.

favourite possessions—motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate

David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But….

By Gisele McKnight

FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.

The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.

One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.

When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so—Fundy.

Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.

"I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.

"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."

So Amos, who'd lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.

"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."

For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.

Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.

He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."

Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It's alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"

Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.

"I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats."

And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.

"I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's
not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about."

What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote."

Although…if you're going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.

"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, 'what the hell.'"

He is being, to put it most charitably, very disingenuous. The US has massive subsidies of its agri-business, including dairy. If he wasn't so dangerous, the man would be hysterically funny.

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight Editor
Kings County Record

"Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"

"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."

What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."

He said the U.S. is pushing for a new NAFTA that increases domestic content requirements, and keeps Chinese parts out of North America, but the revised Asia-Pacific pact reduces local requirements and lets more product from non-TPP countries like China into the market.

"This could not be a dumber move at a more important time," Volpe said in an interview.

'The gig is up': Trump demands Canada dismantle supply management or risk trading relationship

'We don't want to pay anything, why should we pay anything?' Trump says of Canadian tariffs on dairy products


President Donald Trump had tough words about Canada's supply management system during a news conference at the G7 summit on Saturday in La Malbaie, Que. (Evan Vucci/AP Photo)


U.S. President Donald Trump says Canada will have to dismantle its supply-managed dairy system or else Americans will dramatically curtail its trading relationship — a shot across the bow at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has vocally defended the country's existing agricultural policies in the face of U.S. opposition.

"No tariffs, no barriers, that's the way it should be and no subsidies. In other words, let's say Canada, where we have tremendous tariffs. The U.S. pays tremendous tariffs on dairy, as an example, 270 per cent ... we don't want to pay anything, why should we pay anything?" Trump said, referencing the Canadian tariff levied on U.S. and foreign milk imports.

Canada levies a tariff of 270 per cent on milk, 245 per cent on cheese and 298 per cent on butter in an effort to keep U.S. and other foreign dairy imports out.

"It's very unfair to our farmers. Our farmers, whether it's through a non-tariff trade barrier or whether it's through very high tariffs ... this is all over the world. You can't do that. It's going to stop, or we'll stop trading," he said.

The U.S. president says if Canada doesn't dismantle their supply management for dairy, he won't hesitate to dramatically curtail the trading relationship between the two countries 2:20
As recently as Thursday Trudeau said his Liberal government will strongly support the current system that uses quotas to control the amount of dairy products produced by farmers, to ensure the national supply matches expected demand.

The Canadian Dairy Commission, which works with the provincial milk marketing boards to co-ordinate quotas and pricing, has consistently defended the system as a way to avoid surpluses and shortages — but also to help stabilize farmers' income.

"There's a reason why Donald Trump continues to write tweets on dairy products and Canada — it's because I've told him many times: 'No, he won't touch, we won't touch, our supply management system,'" Trudeau told reporters Thursday. "We will always defend our supply management system."

Trump said he doesn't blame foreign leaders for the state of the trading relationship, instead laying blame on past U.S. presidents who have entered into deals that, he asserts, have enriched allies while hollowing out American industry.

Treating U.S. like 'a piggy bank'


He said while the U.S. has kept its tariffs low to promote global free trade, other countries have left protectionist policies in place, disadvantaging the U.S.

In a wide-ranging news conference at the G7 summit in Quebec, Trump said Canada and other G7 countries — historically his country's closest allies — have treated the U.S. like a "piggy bank that everyone's robbing ... the gig is up. They can't believe they got away with it [for so long]. Canada can't believe it got away with it."
Trump made his comments before leaving the G7 summit in La Malbaie, Que. early Saturday — skipping an afternoon working group discussion on climate change, energy and protection the world's oceans — where trade issues have dominated the agenda due to a protectionist push by the Trump administration.

Ahead of the meeting, some G7 leaders telegraphed they'd use the summit to have "tough and frank" conversations with Trump and argue the virtues of freer trade as he tightens the tariff noose.

Those efforts seemed to have failed, as Trump doubled down on his pledge to erect further trade barriers if he cannot extract concessions from partners.

Trump warned countries against levying retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. after his administration imposed punitive tariffs on aluminum and steel imports from Canada, Mexico, and the EU on national security grounds.

Canada has already said it will impose some $16.5 billion in new tariffs on U.S. goods ranging from lawn mowers to felt-tipped pens in response to the new 10 per cent levy on the country's aluminum and the 25 per cent tariff on Canadian steel.

"We'll win that war 1,000 times out of a 1,000," he said.

Calls for bilateral deal with Canada, Mexico


Despite the tough words, Trump said his relationship with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and Trudeau is at a "10."

"The relationship that I've had with these leaders is great ... so you can tell that to your fake friends at CNN," he said after a reporter from that network asked about the state of the relationship with these close U.S. allies.

Speaking of the stalled NAFTA negotiations, Trump again reiterated he prefers to sign a bilateral deal with Canada rather than push ahead with an agreement with the three original signatories. He has said a U.S.-Canada deal will be easier to achieve given the similarities of the two advanced economies. U.S. negotiators have frequently sparred with Mexican authorities over wages and workers' rights.

"We're either going to have NAFTA in a better negotiated form or we're going to have two [separate] deals ... it'll have a sunset. We're pretty close on the sunset division," Trump said, referencing the U.S. demand for a sunset clause in a final agreement.

Canadian negotiators have said a five-year sunset clause — which would prompt a reworking of the trade deal every five years — is a "poison pill" for trade talks. Canada and Mexico have opposed such a clause because of the economic shocks that come from uncertainty about NAFTA's future.

Trump will now begin his nearly 20-hour journey to Singapore where he is expected to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on June 12, a tête-à-tê​te designed to encourage the rogue state to end its nuclear program.

Trump, Trudeau exchange friendly barbs over trade

U.S. president says Canada's protection of dairy farmers killing U.S. agricultural interests

John Paul Tasker · CBC News · Posted: Jun 08, 2018 10:00 AM ET

After a week of firing criticisms at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on social media, U.S. President Donald Trump displayed a more playful mood before a meeting with the PM Friday, joking that Canada had agreed to drop all tariffs against the U.S.

Trudeau quipped in return that NAFTA talks were in good shape — a reference to the major trade irritants that remain between the two countries.

After rather staid opening remarks from Trudeau ahead of his private meeting with the president, Trump said he was pleased to report that Trudeau had now agreed to "drop all tariffs, all trade barriers between Canada and the U.S. I'm very happy about that."

"And I say NAFTA is in good shape," Trudeau replied, a smile spreading across his face.

Adopting a more serious tone, Trump then said he thought it would be best for Canada and the U.S. to pursue a bilateral trade agreement rather than push ahead with a negotiated NAFTA with Mexico.

"We're working on it, we're working on it," Trump said. "One on one, much more simpler agreement, much easier to do, I think better for both countries. But we're talking about that, among other things."




Politics News
Trudeau sits down with Trump




00:00 01:55



Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President Donald Trump held a bilateral meeting on the edges of the G7 Summit in La Malbaie Quebec 1:55
NAFTA talks have soured in recent weeks as the U.S. has refused to budge on its demands for an overhaul of the deal's auto component and for a sunset clause.

The leaders' comments were made ahead of their bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the G7 summit in La Malbaie, Que., where trade issues have dominated the agenda due to a protectionist push by the Trump administration. After initially exempting major allies, Trump has levied punitive tariffs on Canadian and EU aluminum and steel imports.

The tariffs were imposed on national security grounds, something Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland has dismissed as "ludicrous." Trump has since fired back on Twitter, calling Canada's supply-managed dairy sector unfair to U.S. farm interests.

"Looking forward to straightening out unfair Trade Deals with the G-7 countries. If it doesn't happen, we come out even better!" Trump tweeted earlier Friday before touching down in Quebec. "Canada charges the U.S. a 270% tariff on Dairy Products! They didn't tell you that, did they? Not fair to our farmers!"

In a similar tweet Thursday evening, Trump again attacked Trudeau by name, citing his support for the country's dairy industry protections as a source of tension.




Politics News
Trump slams Canadian trade practices as he leaves the White House




00:00 01:40



US President Donald Trump is travelling to the G7 meeting in Charlevoix 1:40
"Prime Minister Trudeau is being so indignant, bringing up the relationship that the U.S. and Canada had over the many years and all sorts of other things," Trump tweeted. "He doesn't bring up the fact that they charge us up to 300% on dairy — hurting our Farmers, killing our Agriculture!"


Longstanding irritant


Supply management is a longstanding issue for Trump, who was convinced by dairy farmers in swing-state and dairy-rich Wisconsin that Canada's system is to blame for sinking profits on some farms.

Canada levies a tariff of 270 per cent on milk, 245 per cent on cheese and 298 per cent on butter in an effort to keep U.S. and other foreign dairy imports out.


Canada's dairy producers introduced new prices for some products in 2016 — mainly on ingredients used in the production of cheese, yogurt and ice cream. That put some U.S. exports at a competitive disadvantage against their Canadian equivalents, resulting in job losses in some U.S. states.

Others point to massive overproduction, and excess capacity, as the source of the U.S. industry's woes. Some observers describe American griping about financial supports for farmers as the height of hypocrisy, given the generous subsidies many receive from Washington.
U.S. negotiators in the stalled NAFTA talks sought concessions on dairy products, but Trudeau reiterated Thursday that his government strongly supports the system that uses quotas to control the amount of dairy products produced by farmers, to ensure the national supply matches expected demand.

At a campaign stop in Saguenay, Que. ahead of the G7, for an upcoming federal byelection, Trudeau said Canada wouldn't back down in the face of Trump's rhetoric.

"There's a reason why Donald Trump continues to write tweets on dairy products and Canada — it's because I've told him many times: 'No, he won't touch, we won't touch, our supply management system,'" Trudeau told reporters.

"We will always defend our supply management system."




Politics News
Watch Trudeau welcome Trump to G7




00:00 01:31



US President Donald Trump was welcomed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau at the Manoir Richelieu 1:31
However, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said in a recent interview with a U.S.-based farm publication that Canada offered the Americans some tariff-free market access for dairy products — along the lines of what Canada conceded through the Canada-EU free trade deal and the Trans-Pacific Partnership — as part of the NAFTA talks.

Perdue did not indicate how much additional access Canada offered at the NAFTA table, but said it wasn't enough. Trudeau himself recently told NBC News that Canada was "moving toward ... flexibility" in allowing further foreign access to the protected dairy market.


Spinning supply management



The Canadian Dairy Commission, which works with the provincial milk marketing boards to co-ordinate quotas and pricing, has consistently defended the system as a way to avoid surpluses and shortages.

Trudeau reminded farmers in Quebec it was his father's Liberal government that put supply management in place in the 1970s to help stabilize farmers' income, and he supports its continued existence not because of nostalgia, but because it works.

He then jumped onto a stage at a protest site assembled near his byelection campaign stop, promising dairy farmers gathered there that he had their backs.
A senior government official speaking to CBC News on background Thursday sought to spin Trump's dairy-related tweets as a positive — proof that Trudeau has strongly defended the interests of Canada's farmers in the NAFTA talks.

In a sign Trump is principally focused on discussions about the economy at this G7 (the president will leave the summit early Saturday, skipping sessions on climate change, clean energy and oceans), he brought along some of his top economic advisers, including former TV personality turned director of the president's national economic council Larry Kudlow, and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.

Also in Quebec with Trump are White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and his deputy Joe Hagin, senior adviser Stephen Miller, National Security Adviser John Bolton, Trump's social media adviser Dan Scavino and Everett Eisenstat, the president's aide on climate change matters.

Relations between Trump and Trudeau are arguably at their lowest point since the reality TV star ascended to the Oval Office — a result of Trump levying punitive tariffs on Canadian aluminum and steel imports on national security grounds. The tariffs have prompted angry reactions from Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland. The stalled NAFTA renegotiation effort has also soured the working relationship.

In recent days, Trump's Canada-focused tweets have included:
  • "Canada has treated our Agricultural business and Farmers very poorly for a very long period of time. Highly restrictive on Trade! They must open their markets and take down their trade barriers!"
  • "Canada has all sorts of trade barriers on our Agricultural products. Not acceptable!"
  • "Farmers have not been doing well for 15 years. Mexico, Canada, China and others have treated them unfairly. By the time I finish trade talks, that will change. Big trade barriers against U.S. farmers, and other businesses, will finally be broken. Massive trade deficits no longer!"
And following Trudeau's remarks Thursday, Trump tweeted this: "Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers… Canada keeps our farmers and others out. Look forward to seeing them tomorrow."

The Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC) employs policy analysts, agricultural economists, financial, marketing and communications specialists and support personnel.                   
Among many activities, their work includes helping industry develop broad dairy policies, assessing the changing demand and production of milk and dairy products, facilitating the pooling of milk revenues and markets, and buying and selling dairy products on the domestice and international markets. CDC employees also manage several programs for the benefit of the dairy and food industries. Staff are led by the CDC’s Chief Executive Officer, who is appointed by the Governor in Council.
The success of the CDC’s services depends largely on its human resources as well as on its pursuit of excellence in the services it offers. The CDC employs approximately 60 employees.
The CDC reports to Canada’s Parliament through the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

>> The Trudeau government has yet to take a stand on the Trans-Pacific
>> Partnership but it was all ears during consultation sessions in
>> Halifax on Wednesday.
>>
>> "Some stakeholders are for it, some are against it. We are here to
>> listen to everyone," said David Lametti, parliamentary secretary for
>> international trade.
>>
>> "We haven't taken a position," he said.
>>
>>     Chrystia Freeland won't commit yet to Feb. 4 TPP signing
>>
>> Today, three consultation sessions were held on the Asian free trade
>> deal with business, academic and government officials.
>>
>> The Liberal government has promised broad consultations on the
>> 12-nation trade deal initialed in October 2015 by the Harper
>> government.
>>
>> The first deadline to sign the deal — a key step towards eventual
>> ratification — is expected next month.
>> Reduced tariffs
>>
>> "We are highly supportive of TPP," said Christine Penney, an executive
>> with Clearwater Seafoods who met with Lametti in a session sponsored
>> by the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council.
>>
>> The Port of Halifax and St. Mary's University also hosted meetings on
>> the trade deal.
>> Phil MacKenzie
>>
>> Phil MacKenzie is with Solar Global Solutions, a subsidiary of
>> Halifax-based LED Roadway Lighting. (CBC)
>>
>> "We think it will significantly reduce tariff barriers and represents
>> an opportunity for growth in the seafood industry," Penney said.
>>
>> Lametti also met with Keith Colwell, Nova Scotia's minister of
>> agriculture and fisheries, but the province would not provide details
>> of their meeting.
>>
>> Phil MacKenzie with Solar Global Solutions, a subsidiary of
>> Halifax-based LED Roadway Lighting, attended one of the sessions.
>>
>> His company makes solar-powered lights, sold in places where
>> electricity is expensive, like the Caribbean.
>>
>> Unlike Ontario's auto manufacturing sector, he says green tech
>> companies stand to benefit from lowered tariffs.
>>
>> "I'm excited to see what  types of tariffs would be lifted by having
>> the TPP with regards to importing the components we need for our solar
>> systems," MacKenzie said.
>> Halifax port well connected
>>
>> Karen Oldfield, CEO of the Port of Halifax, says the federal agency
>> already has excellent connections with Asian countries that are part
>> of the TPP, citing Vietnam as an example.
>>
>> She sees TPP as a compliment to the already signed European free trade
>> deal, calling it an edge over the United States which has no such deal
>> with the Europeans.
>>
>> "If we can be ahead in our trade agreement with the European Union and
>> tie into the TPP, we are uniquely positioned amongst all those
>> countries and particularly, vis-a-vis, the United States," she said.
>>
>> "I would say we would have a significant advantage for a period of time."

>>>
>>> "Some stakeholders are for it, some are against it. We are here to
>>> listen to everyone," said David Lametti, parliamentary secretary for
>>> international trade.
>>>
>>> "We haven't taken a position," he said.
>>>
>>>     Chrystia Freeland won't commit yet to Feb. 4 TPP signing
>>>
>>> Today, three consultation sessions were held on the Asian free trade
>>> deal with business, academic and government officials.
>>>
>>> The Liberal government has promised broad consultations on the
>>> 12-nation trade deal initialed in October 2015 by the Harper
>>> government.
>>>
>>> The first deadline to sign the deal — a key step towards eventual
>>> ratification — is expected next month.
>>> Reduced tariffs
>>>
>>> "We are highly supportive of TPP," said Christine Penney, an executive
>>> with Clearwater Seafoods who met with Lametti in a session sponsored
>>> by the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council.
>>>
>>> The Port of Halifax and St. Mary's University also hosted meetings on

>>> Phil MacKenzie
>>>
>>> Phil MacKenzie is with Solar Global Solutions, a subsidiary of

>>> "We think it will significantly reduce tariff barriers and represents

>>> Lametti also met with Keith Colwell, Nova Scotia's minister of
>>> agriculture and fisheries, but the province would not provide details
>>> of their meeting.
>>>
>>> Phil MacKenzie with Solar Global Solutions, a subsidiary of
>>> Halifax-based LED Roadway Lighting, attended one of the sessions.
>>>
>>> His company makes solar-powered lights, sold in places where
>>> electricity is expensive, like the Caribbean.
>>>
>>> Unlike Ontario's auto manufacturing sector, he says green tech
>>> companies stand to benefit from lowered tariffs.
>>>
>>> "I'm excited to see what  types of tariffs would be lifted by having
>>> the TPP with regards to importing the components we need for our solar
>>> systems," MacKenzie said.
>>> Halifax port well connected
>>>
>>> Karen Oldfield, CEO of the Port of Halifax, says the federal agency
>>> already has excellent connections with Asian countries that are part
>>> of the TPP, citing Vietnam as an example.
>>>
>>> She sees TPP as a compliment to the already signed European free trade
>>> deal, calling it an edge over the United States which has no such deal
>>> with the Europeans.
>>>
>>> "If we can be ahead in our trade agreement with the European Union and
>>> tie into the TPP, we are uniquely positioned amongst all those
