This is a skills development-focused course on how to design and negotiate a forward-looking bilateral preferential trade agreement between Canada and a major trading partner. The course is highly-interactive, using a simulation of a hypothetical Canada-China Free Trade Agreement to provide hands-on experience in how to prepare, conduct and finalize a trade agreement to advance Canada’s commercial interests in the world. The course is designed and delivered by former senior Canadian trade negotiators to make the course as practical and “real world” as possible.Issues to be discussed include: goods, services, state-trading, state-owned enterprises and the trade “and” agenda (human rights, labour, environment)
Course instructors:
Don Stephenson, former ADM Trade, DFADT; former Canadian Ambassador to the WTO
Terry Collins-Williams, former Deputy Chief Negotiator, and Lead Negotiator for Non-Agricultural Market Access, in the Doha Round of trade negotiations at the WTO.
Phil Rourke, Executive Director, CTPL; Lecturer at Carleton (NPSIA), uOttawa (Faculty of Law)
