| | FIPA Third Plenary Meeting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Among other projects, over the past year the FIPA has been attempting to be recognized in the FTAA negotiations as the official voice of the parliamentarians of the Americas, who will eventually have to either ratify the FTAA agreement or justify it to their voters. |
 | | The FIPA has asked for official recognition in order to begin a dialogue with negotiators to educate parliamentarians of the hemisphere on the state of the talks and to share with negotiators parliamentarians' issues and concerns. |
 | | The FIPA's third annual plenary assembly was, from the Canadian delegation's view, a well-run success, allowing parliamentarians to discuss with their counterparts throughout the hemisphere issues of interest to Canada and Canadians, notably terrorism, FTAA negotiations and economic integration. |
