Dear All,
I listened to Marilyn’s comments
regarding the “USG negotiating position” on the BC call today and
then went back to review the documents Steve sent to the list. The idea
of a single government holding a veto power is untenable for business, but I
don’t believe that it is in the constituency’s best interest to
confront the GAC with this issue. I am wondering what the members think
about splitting up the seven points of discussion and lending business’ support
to those aspects that the BC can find consensus on? That then would
enable the BC to note business’ resistance to government veto and other
aspects that are non-starters…
Any support for this approach? If
so, could you also suggest supporting or dissenting language to get our BC
position started?
Kind regards,
RA
