Truemors
Canada, USA and Mexico are about to lose their sovernity as corporations continue to shape laws.
Wide-ranging proposals for the two-year-old North American Security and Prosperity Partnership would more closely bind Canada, the United States and Mexico - and have sparked controversy and suspicion from those outside the process. Their concerns will be at the heart of much of the discussion at the Three Amigos summit at Montebello on Monday and Tuesday.

The only outsiders with a formal role in the SPP are mega-corporations through the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC), which brings together 30 business representatives from the three countries to help direct the accord. http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=d906ed86-bbfa-4713-841f-5077b070ffa4
Attention must now be paid to the North American Competitiveness Council -- the body of 35 corporate CEOs (the U.S. gets 15, Canada and the Mexico 10 each) that has been formally established as the only non-government body making recommendations to the three governments.
