[Bill Graham]'s May 2005 letter states that the government wanted an agreement under which Afghan detainees transferred by Canada would "be afforded treatment consistent with the standards set out in the Third Geneva Convention, regardless of the legal status of those detainees. On May 31, 2005, Graham and [Rick Hillier] met Afghanistan Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah to discuss the possibility of a bilateral "framework agreement," according to the briefing note. In a July 28 letter, Hillier asked Graham for authority to work toward the negotiation of a bilateral agreement on the treatment of detainees. Truly, at the time we felt that was the right thing to do," Hillier said, adding: "Obviously, we would reassess that as allegations come out that perhaps that was not sufficient."

This year, with Astraeus being our carrier, we don't need to have foreign permission," [Hugh Boyle] said. "We were trying to operate under the new bilateral agreement (between Canada and the EU) but although everybody has agreed to it, they still haven't signed it. Rather than hang around and wait, we've got an airline partner in the U.K. that doesn't need special permission to fly from Canada to the U.K. CTA spokeswoman Natalie Hanson confirmed Astraeus has a licence to operate between the two countries. "Go Transit can fill flights with them. Astraeus and Go Transit will have to apply for a permit, as well," she said.

In the spring of 2005, Canada, the United States, and Mexico negotiated a security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), an agreement meant to bolster continental security while preserving a free flow of goods and people across national borders. After the SPP was announced, influential groups in all three countries argued that the new agreement should lead to the erection of a continental security perimeter. This paper argues that proponents of a continental perimeter overlook the mutual self-interest Canada and the United States see in focusing security cooperation on the border in a bilateral cooperative, rather than continentally integrative, measures. Although their motives differ, both countries recognize that the protections offered by borders (belts) take precedence over those provid...
To win Canadians' acceptance, the prime minister launched a major public relations offensive claiming that rising U.S. protectionism put two million Canadian jobs at risk. At the same time, [Brian Mulroney] dismissed the GATT as too slow and ineffective to protect those two million jobs and no alternative to a bilateral free trade agreement guaranteeing "secure access" to U.S. markets through a "binding disputes settlement mechanism." He also repealed the former Liberal government's Employment Support Act, legislation passed during the Nixon era to ensure federal support for industries facing U.S. trade surcharges. [Stephen Harper] was "snookered" by the [George W. Bush] administration, says [Gordon Gibson]. "We were within months of winning, finally and decisively, in a U.S. (not free ...

Rebuffed, Canada was drawn firmly into America's orbit. Sixty years on it has come back with a scaled-down plan, starting talks on Wednesday with the EU aimed at a bilateral trade agreement. According to Catherine Ashton, the EU trade commissioner, by talking about trade liberalization amid rising global protectionism, the two parties are sending a "powerful signal. Starting talks is easier than finishing them. Most Canada-EU goods trade is already tariff-free, which means the barriers left standing, such as those on farm products, are the hardest to knock down.
