In keeping with the architecture of the agreement, and like many of our other free trade agreements, the Canada-Colombia FTA provides for the establishment of a joint commission that has overall oversight of the operation and implementation of the agreement. It supervises the implementation of the agreement. It oversees further elaboration of the agreement. It has the power to consider any measure that may affect the operation of the agreement.
That joint commission is established at the ministerial level under article 2001 of the agreement. Clause 10 makes the minister here, the Minister for International Trade, the principal representative of Canada on that commission.
