This enactment amends the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act and the Special Import Measures Act to ensure that
(a) Parliament has a say in the appointment of members to the Canadian International Trade Tribunal;
(b) the composition of the Tribunal reflects in a balanced manner the interests of the parties affected by the Tribunal’s determinations;
(c) trade unions representing workers engaged in the production of goods affected by dumping or subsidizing can request inquiries; and
(d) the Tribunal’s determinations are more effective.
