Behind the delay lay a federal government process of consultation with civil society that failed to consult the right people on the right question at the right time. It featured selective discussions with elites, experts, and special interest groups on whether to ratify Kyoto, rather than consulting Canadians directly on how to implement the accord from the start. As the domestic implementation process will be dynamic, if not equally divisive, it is important to engage civil society properly and move quickly to meet the Kyoto targets.
They find that these bodies have been largely underused and are relatively insignificant as continental institutions, due to the incongruity between their trilateral, professional, and symmetrical nature and the bilateral, political, and asymmetrical reality of Canada’s and Mexico’s relationship with the United States. Regional issues are, in fact, bilateral and thus inappropriate for the trinational bodies; the political stakes are too high to be left to apolitical, technocratic institutions based on formal legal equality, which can deal only with low-level, low-interest disputes, rather than those that require political sensitivity, flexible processes, and compromise.
Such civil society organisations also favour the imposition of trade sanctions on exporting countries with weaker standards in order to induce the raising of those standards. He argues, however, that where there are linkages of trade with domestic policy issues of the environment, health and safety standards, human rights, intellectual property, competition policy, investment, trade in services, and culture, the solution lies in the harmonisation or convergence of domestic regulatory standards rather than in the WTO taking on responsibility for such extraneous issues.
