Typically, the Americans have linked their trade negotiations with labour and environmental agreements. We tend not to do that. I believe it is not a good idea to link agreements, because they distort the trade agreements, but it is entirely possible to advance environmental issues, human rights issues, and issues of good governance through other forums, through bilateral dialogues on human rights, through partnerships with parliamentary committees, and through working with human rights NGOs in different parts of the world.
We have already been doing this, and in ASEAN in particular, Canada has a very good track record and reputation for working both on the environment file and on the human rights file. It is true that these dedicated forums on environment and human rights and so on can make the connection to trade rather than trying to build environment or human rights side agreements directly into trade agreements.
