	S/R 6: Green Parties of California, Mexico, & Canada Oppose NAFTA
		Current world trade practices reinforce these policies and have as their consequences the ecological destruction of the planet and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the few, conditions both which pit North against South, rich against poor, and assure that injustice and inequity will be the rule.
		Particularly alarming about these trade agreements is that they hold that the standards and laws that help create quality of life for people are impediments to the international competitiveness of transnational corporations; and that for this reason these standards and laws should be lowered or eliminated.
		Green trade would also not place nations in dependent situations where they are export-driven to the extent that they must undermine their ecology, impoverish their citizens, and forfeit their political sovereignty to avoid retaliatory economic actions by more powerful trading nations.

		NAFTA is a free trade and investment agreement that provided investors with a unique set of guarantees designed to stimulate foreign direct investment and the movement of factories within the hemisphere, especially from the United States to Canada and Mexico.
		Trade, however, is also expected to increase the wages of the workers producing exports, but growing trade deficits have meant that the number of workers hurt by imports has exceeded the number who have benefited through increased exports.
		As the trade deficit limits jobs in the manufacturing sector, the new supply of workers to the service sector (from displaced workers plus young workers not able to find manufacturing jobs) depresses the wages of those already holding service jobs.

		As trade barriers fall, producers and consumers in Canada, Mexico, and the United States are benefiting more fully from their relative strengths.
		In addition to facilitating trade growth, NAFTA is fostering a reorientation of agricultural trade in which U.S. exporters and importers devote more attention to the North American market.
		Although North American trade in fruits and vegetables has flourished under NAFTA, developments in this trade are primarily due to other factors, such as changing consumer preferences, strong U.S. demand, adverse weather conditions, and the peso devaluation and subsequent Mexican recession in late 1994 and 1995.

		The fear of American cultural colonization is a recurring theme in Quebecois and Canadian discourses on culture.
		The considerable importance accorded by Quebec and Canadian policies to the protection and the promotion of cultural identity, is due largely to the belief that this identity is in danger, particularly with respect to the significant presence of American cultural products on the Quebec and Canadian markets.
		The Quebecois, like Canadians, want to keep their protective policies and regulations concerning the promotion of their cultural identity, because they are convinced that without them, the situation would rapidly deteriorate.
