Bill C-2 implements the Canada–Colombia Free Trade Agreement and two related agreements on the environment and labour cooperation, which were signed in November 2008.
Bill C-2 puts into Canadian law the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and Colombia, plus two companion agreements on environmental protection and labour rights that Canada and Colombia signed together on November 21, 2008. The bill approves these agreements and makes changes to several Canadian laws so they align with Canada's new trade obligations. For example, the bill changes customs laws to allow Colombian goods that meet certain conditions to enter Canada at reduced tariff rates (called the "Colombia Tariff"). Some goods will eventually enter duty-free, while others will have reduced rates phased in over 2 to 17 years, depending on the product. The bill also gives the Minister of International Trade authority to manage Canada's participation in dispute settlement panels and committees required by the agreement. It allows Canada to pay its share of the costs of these bodies. The bill creates emergency protections: if Colombian imports surge and seriously harm Canadian producers, Canada can temporarily increase tariffs on those goods for up to three years. The bill requires the Minister to report to Parliament every year on how the agreement is working and its effects on human rights in both countries. The bill does not give individuals or companies the right to sue directly based on the agreement unless specific labour dispute provisions apply.
