Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 3 page paper discussing different perceptions and aspects of Canadian trade in regards to municipal, provincial and global levels. Canadian trade varies in regards to its acceptance, perception and policies on the municipal, provincial or global levels. Many World Trade Organization (WTO) Members find that certain restrictive policies and tariffs in Canada present barriers in some markets although the WTO has found that access to the Canadian market is “generally liberal” despite some protectionist measures within the country. Canadian businesses interested in inter-provincial trade have found that the inter-provincial barriers are often too costly and it is more cost efficient to promote trade markets within the U.S. than within Canada itself; barriers which trade boards and chambers of commerce should eliminate in order allow Canadian businesses to prosper within Canada. On the other hand, certain municipalities have found that trade policies related to the GATS agreement have “liberalized” services to such an extent that national and international businesses now challenge local businesses; businesses municipalities wish to shield.

the World Trade Organizations (WTO) General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) especially in regards to environmental services, transportation and infrastructure needs. While Canada agreement with the GATS initiative, originally
negotiated in 1994 was intended to "liberalize services", many municipalities are concerned that "Canada made so many commitments to open up services to foreign companies that foreign engineering, construction, waste
management and water companies can now use GATS to challenge local (as well as national and provincial) water and land use regulations and public ownership" according to a recent meeting
of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) (Canadian Centre, 2002). While some municipalities are concerned with the liberalization of services agreed in the GATS which may impact the number of
