The SPP's effect on communities

The People's Summit went into workshop-mode today, as SPP- and NAFTA-related seminars were held all around N.O.

At Loyola University's student centre, several workshops on the SPP combined into a single group that talked both broadly and specifically about the effects of the Partnership on Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and a number of constituency groups in all countries (e.g. the African American community).


A pair of volunteers provided simultaneous interpretation of the seminar, which was conducted in English and Spanish. There were about 45 attendees, including a large SFUO contingent.
