The CCPA's Trade and Investment Research Project pools resources and expertise from a wide range of Canadian non-governmental organizations and academic institutions to understand the implications of neoliberal trade governance for public policy and democratic decision-making. Since 1999, TIRP research has examined and critiqued the impacts of Canadian trade and investment agreements on social, environmental and economic development policy at home and abroad.
