September 2, 2005 DAVID EMERSON [45-1-o] DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE NOTICE OF INTENT TO CONDUCT A STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE CANADA-CHINA FOREIGN INVESTMENT PROTECTION AGREEMENT The Government of Canada will be undertaking a Strategic Environmental Assessment of the negotiations for a Canada-China Foreign Investment Protection Agreement (FIPA). Comments are invited on any likely and significant environmental impacts of the negotiations on Canada. Canada's FIPA Program Canada-China FIPA negotiations are on the basis of the new model FIPA which was approved by Cabinet in the fall of 2003. To learn more about Canada's FIPA Program and Canada's model FIPA, you are invited to visit www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/tna-nac/fipa-en.asp. Canada-China Foreign Investment Protection Agreement Canada and China resumed FIPA negotiations in Beijing from September 21 to 23, 2004. A follow-up round of negotiations was held in Ottawa between May 31 and June 1, 2005. While the existence of a FIPA should be a positive and important factor in investors' decisions on whether to invest in the territory of the other party, it will be but one of many factors. The main effect of a FIPA is likely to be greater protection for international investors of one contracting party in the territory of the other. The FIPA will preserve the right of both Canada and China to regulate in the public interest. A FIPA with China would provide greater certainty for Canadian firms with investments in China. Canadian investment in China covers a broad range of sectors including aerospace, biotechnology, education, finance, information technology, manufacturing, and natural resources. According to Statistics Canada, the stock of Canadian direct investment in China increased to C$647 million in 2004 from C$6 million in 1990. A high-standard FIPA with China will help expand these levels by improving investor confidence in the country. As for inward investment, Chinese investors are increasingly interested in Canada's information and communication technology sector, followed closely by energy and biotechnology. The stock of inward foreign direct investment into Canada from China has increased to C$220 million in 2004 from C$54 million in 1991. Strategic Environmental Assessments The Government of Canada is committed to sustainable development. Mutually supportive trade and environmental policies can contribute to this objective. To this end, the Minister of International Trade, with the support of his Cabinet colleagues, has directed trade officials to improve their understanding of, and information base on, the relationship between trade and environmental issues at the earliest stages of decision making, and to do this through an open and inclusive process. Environmental assessments of trade negotiations are critical to this work. This process is guided by the 2001 Framework for Conducting Environmental Assessments of Trade Negotiations with direction from the 1999 Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan, and Program Proposals. For the full text of the Framework, please refer to www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/tna-nac/env/env-ea-en.asp. An Environmental Assessment is a systematic process of identifying and evaluating the likely and significant positive and negative environmental impacts of an initiative on Canada. Public consultations are conducted throughout the process, which generally includes the following steps in chronological order: 1. Announcement of the intent to conduct an Environmental Assessment, which is the purpose of this Canada Gazette notice; 2. Preparation of an Initial Environmental Assessment report that will define the scope of the more complete analysis to be carried out in the next stage; 3. Preparation of a Draft Environmental Assessment report that will include an in-depth analysis of the issues raised in the Initial Environmental Assessment; and 4. Preparation of a Final Environmental Assessment report that will be released after the conclusion of negotiations. In each of the above steps, the analysis follows four stages: — identify the economic effects in Canada of the negotiations; — identify the likely environmental impacts in Canada of such effects; — assess the significance of the likely environmental impacts; and — identify enhancement/mitigation options to inform the negotiation process. Environmental Assessment of the Canada-China FIPA negotiations An Environmental Assessment Committee has been formed to undertake the analysis of the Canada-China FIPA negotiations. Coordinated by Foreign Affairs Canada and International Trade Canada, the Environmental Assessment Committee includes representatives from various federal government departments and agencies. In the preparation of the report at each stage, as appropriate, the Committee will be open to input from provincial and territorial governments, industry groups, civil society, and the public. Submissions by interested parties (see footnote a) All interested parties are invited to submit by December 29, 2005, their views on the likely and significant environmental impacts on Canada resulting from the Canada-China FIPA negotiations. Submissions should include 1. The contributor's name and address, and if applicable, that of his or her organization, institution or business; 2. The specific issues being addressed; and 3. The rationale for the position taken. Please address contributions to the Consultations and Liaison Division (EBC), Environmental Assessment Consultations — Canada-China FIPA, International Trade Canada, Lester B. Pearson Building, 125 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2, (613) 944-7981 (fax), consultations@international.gc.ca (email). [45-1-o] DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE NOTICE OF INTENT TO CONDUCT A STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE CANADA-INDIA FOREIGN INVESTMENT PROTECTION AGREEMENT The Government of Canada will undertake a Strategic Environmental Assessment (EA) of the negotiations for a Canada-India Foreign Investment Protection Agreement (FIPA). Comments are invited on any likely and significant environmental impacts of the negotiations on Canada. Canada's FIPA Program Canada-India FIPA negotiations are conducted on the basis of the new model FIPA approved by Cabinet in the fall of 2003. To learn more about Canada's FIPA Program and Canada's model FIPA, you are invited to visit www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/tna-nac/fipa-en.asp. Canada-India Foreign Investment Protection Agreement Negotiations for a Canada-India FIPA were re-launched in September 2004. Four negotiating sessions have since been held, with the most recent the fourth week of September 2005 in New Delhi. While the existence of a FIPA should be a positive and important factor in investors' decisions on whether to invest in the territory of the other party, it will be but one of many factors. The main effect of a FIPA is likely to be greater protection for international investors of one contracting party in the territory of the other. The FIPA will preserve the right of both Canada and India to regulate in the public interest. A FIPA with India would provide greater certainty for Canadian firms with investments in India. Existing Canadian investment is primarily in three sectors—financial services, electrical power, and information technologies. According to Statistics Canada, Canadian investment in India increased to $251 million in 2004 from $184 million in 2003. A high-standard FIPA will help continue to achieve this potential by improving investor confidence in the country. As for inward investment, Indian investors are increasingly interested in Canada as an investment destination. There has been a rapid increase in Indian investment in Canada, mostly in the areas of software development and life sciences. India foreign direct investment in Canada increased from C$18 million in 1999 to C$33 million in 2002 and to C$62 million in 2003. Strategic Environmental Assessments The Government of Canada is committed to sustainable development. Mutually supportive trade and environmental policies can contribute to this objective. To this end, the Minister of International Trade, with the support of his Cabinet colleagues, has directed trade officials to improve their understanding of, and information based on, the relationship between trade and environmental issues at the earliest stages of decision making, and to do this through an open and inclusive process. Environmental assessments of trade negotiations are critical to this work. This process is guided by the 2001 Framework for Conducting Environmental Assessments of Trade Negotiations and with direction from the 2004 Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan, and Program Proposals. For the full text of the Framework, please refer to www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/tna-nac/env/env-ea-en.asp. Three phases of increasing detailed assessment are undertaken as negotiations progress: the Initial, Draft, and Final EA. This provides a means to integrate environmental concerns into the negotiating process. A consistent analytical methodology is applied during each phase, which requires — identification of the economic effects in Canada of the negotiations; — identification of the likely environmental impacts in Canada of such effects; — assessment of the significance of the likely environmental impacts; and — identification of enhancement/mitigation options. There is a strong commitment to communications and consultations throughout each EA of a negotiation. This generally includes the following steps in chronological order: 1. Announcement of the intent to conduct an EA, which is the purpose of this Canada Gazette notice; 2. Preparation of an Initial EA report that will define the scope of the more complete analysis to be carried out in the next stage; 3. Preparation of a Draft EA report that will include an in-depth analysis of the issues raised in the Initial EA and any new issues raised during the negotiations; and 4. Preparation of a Final EA report that will be released after the conclusion of negotiations. Environmental Assessment of the Canada-India FIPA negotiations An EA Committee has been formed to undertake the analysis of the Canada-India FIPA negotiations. Coordinated by International Trade Canada and Foreign Affairs Canada, the EA Committee includes representatives from various federal government departments and agencies. The Committee will be open to input from provincial and territorial governments, non-governmental advisors representing business, civil society and academia, and the public as appropriate during the preparation of the EA reports. Submissions by interested parties (see footnote b) All interested parties are invited to submit by December 29, 2005, their views on the likely and significant environmental impacts on Canada resulting from the Canada-India FIPA negotiations. Submissions should include the following 1. The contributor's name and address, and if applicable, that of his or her organization, institution or business; 2.
