Ottawa--Multinational courier companies are attempting to impose postal policy reforms rejected by Parliament and the Canadian public through the back door of WTO trade negotiations and litigation, according to a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
"The recent $US 160 million NAFTA lawsuit against Canada by UPS, the world's largest courier company, should be a wake-up call." said Scott Sinclair, author of the study. "Unfortunately, Canada's WTO negotiators have exposed us to similar attacks under the GATS," he added.
