VIDEO: Atamanenko addresses public forum on CETA
By Contributor
On February 11, the Nelson Chapter of the Council of Canadians held a public forum on CETA, the latest trade agreement that the Canadian Government is negotiating with the European Union at Nelson United Church. Guest speakers were Peter Julian, the NDP International Trade Critic along with Alex Atamanenko, our local MP. A three part video of the event is now available, with part one posted to this story.
According to Miriam Needoba of Small Town Films, the company that put the film together, “It may also be worth noting that the only reason there is knowledge about CETA at all, is through bureaucratic leaks of documents. So information about CETA and its developments and negotiations are being kept secret, and information about it is being withheld from the public realm.”
