"Mr. Harper, who was in Burlington, Ont. on Friday to open an arts centre, said there are two issues on the joint security and economic agenda of the two countries. One, he said, is the border and perimeter initiative, and the other is Canada-U.S. Regulatory Co-operation Council."

"It will harmonize a plethora of regulations and safety standards in the automobile, food and other industries."

I thought it was interesting that Harper went and signed this "border security" deal with the U.S. the other day.

The deal encompasses a "Canada-U.S. Regulatory Co-operation Council" that harmonizes industry, like agriculture.

I find the timing of this rather interesting, now that the wheat board is gone, this new regulatory body will basically apply U.S. standards to our farming and food production sectors.

U.S. agriculture is dominated by large corporations like Monsanto. They basically have free reign with their GM crops. The wheat board was somewhat resistant to GM crops, so this works out well for big-ag doesn't it?

"Specifically, the Canada-U.S. Regulatory Cooperative Council (under “free” trade) would establish a joint review process for pre-market GMO approval, establish a policy for the acceptance and export of LLPs (Low-Level Presence contamination of genetically modified foods bans in country of export) and recommends eliminating mandatory country of origin labeling, and more."
