New Procurement Agreement

The Harper government and provinces signed a multi-pronged government procurement agreement with the United States on February 16 that will see provincial and local spending powers permanently limited under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules. It is unacceptable that the government would sign a new procurement agreement with the United States, and permanently include the provinces and territories in the WTO's Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), while Parliament is prorogued and without any parliamentary approval process.

It is obvious that Harper had a lot more to hide with proroguation than most of us were aware...and he got away with selling us out.

Which country is harper loyal to anyway? First it was "north american welfare state", then he gave away the softwood lumber industry and now this.

just one more example of why this man, and his band of theives, have to go at the earliest convenient time

Exactly (sneeking the agrt in while the cat's away). And ditto, Pat. Some are saying now that proroguing may have had more to do with ramming the Buy American agrt in).

First you were an old fool, then an old slavemaster in hiding as a fool. But in our times, it is an intellectual such as Underhill a nod in the direction of http://quaerofilm.com/groups/what-kind-of-security-clearance-does-aircraft-structural-maintenance-have-in-the-air-force/
who makes this sin.Say that in ten years, or by 60//20 at the outside, we start building atomic power plants for your hypothetical cities-in-the-Dark.All you need to do is exercise a little patience.Without that enforcement, we likely would not exist.Then agitate the jacket by rolling and twisting it until it is covered thoroughly.I was always scared of walking around in that house alone.On the other hand, even if you feel right as rain, you do not look or feel sexy with the old panties with all the frayed pops of cotton around the waist band and the old bra with the knotted straps.And my task is to manage everything together,Tomas thought.With a little concentration he cocked his head I can estimate blood flow within regions of your brain.Without the usual mix of native volatiles and ores, fleet life would be very uncomfortable indeed.A fleet? The interest was an old reflex, not quite dead.On the subject of swimwear, now there are more than a hundred or so designs available.Oh! and don't forger to read those labels for the all important sizing information because if you get that wrong you will be in trouble.
