Une coalition contre le libre-échange canada-colombien

Une coalition tente de bloquer le processus de ratification d'un accord de libre-échange canado-colombien en raison de la violence et des violations répétées des droits de la personne qui sévissent en Colombie.

Allow me to call to your attention something that has been of great concern to us, and also to present some important information regarding this matter.

As you are aware, the Conservative government presented the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement to Parliament on March 26, 2009 for ratification, though many Colombian and Canadian organizations have been opposing the deal for some time. The New Democratic Party (NDP), the Bloc Quebecois, and several Liberal Members of Parliament oppose this deal as well. In response, the Harper government has claimed that this deal would help both the Canadian and Colombian economies as well as require the Colombian government to improve the human rights situation in Colombia.

Monsieur Gilles Duceppe,
Chef du Bloc Québécois

Permettez-nous d’attirer votre attention sur une situation qui est pour nous un sujet de grande préoccupation en vous fournissant quelques éléments d’information.
 
Depuis des mois, l'ensemble des organisations sociales colombiennes et canadiennes s’opposent à l'Accord de libre-échange entre le Canada et la Colombie qui a été déposé au parlement le 26 mars 2009. Ces oppositions sont soutenues au parlement canadien par les partis du Nouveau Parti démocratique, du Bloc Québécois et plusieurs députés libéraux. Le gouvernement Harper leur a répondu que cet accord aiderait l'économiedu Canada et de la Colombie, mais aussi qu'il encouragerait le gouvernement colombien à améliorer son bilan en matière de droits humains.
