Canada - Peru Deal

This post has not been approved by Media Co-op editors!

The Canada-Peru deal was quietly tabled on January 27th (budget day!).

That means there is just a week or so left for comments (it is tabled
for 21 days).

This is the first FTA to be going through the new process for approval the conservatives brought in. My understanding is that the 21 days during which the FTA is tabled is when it's up for discussion. Following that, an FTA can be ratified with no vote. The enacting legislation will eventually have to be voted on.
