Three BC municipalities reject the terms of the canada EU trade agreement

The Canadian and European "Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement" (CETA) is being scrutinized by three BC Municipalities. The cities of Burnaby, North Vancouver and Trail are asking the province and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) for a detailed analysis on the impact of the agreement on local purchasing policies and control over resources. A leaked document has shown that the agreement would eliminate local procurement policies of municipal and provincial governments and open Canada's drinking water systems to private water corporations.
