The negotiating agenda of the Uruguay round of the GATT encompassed a wide range of issues. Accordingly, government officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Department of Finance, Agriculture Canada, Industry Canada (incorporating the former department of consumer and corporate affairs and Investment Canada), as well as Department of Canadian Heritage, Ministry of Transport, Government Services and Justice, took part in the negotiations.
Given the number of officials involved over the two year period covered in the request, it is impractical to track down and list each individual. As such, listed below are the names of our chief negotiator and ambassador to the GATT and the assistant deputy minister, multilateral trade negotiations, Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.
Ministers of the crown assume full responsibility for all policy decisions taken by the government during the GATT negotiations.
