The CCPA's Trade and Investment Research Project pools resources and expertise from a wide range of Canadian non-governmental organizations to understand the democratic and public policy implications of global trade governance. Since 1999, TIRP research has examined and critiqued the impacts of trade and investment treaty rules on social, environmental and economic development policy.
