DESCRIPTION:The Labour Law and Development Research Laboratory (LLDRL) Spea
 ker Series welcomes Risa Schwartz to discuss the renegotiation of the Nort
 h American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)\, progressive trade policies in Ca
 nada and their potential impact on Indigenous peoples.\n\nThe renegotiatio
 n of NAFTA offers a unique opportunity to better align international trade
  and investment with international Indigenous and human rights law. The an
 nouncement that Canada is seeking the inclusion of an Indigenous peoples’ 
 chapter in NAFTA as a priority is a bold step to protect Indigenous rights
 \, while enhance peoples’ increased participation in international trade. 
 Not only does Canada’s prioritization of a progressive trade agenda\, whic
 h includes the promotion of an Indigenous peoples’ chapter\, help to reali
 ze economic equity\, it is also consistent with Canada’s stated commitment
  to Indigenous rights and renewed nation-to-nation and Inuit-to-Crown rela
 tionships. In order for Canada to take the lead globally in progressive an
 d inclusive trade\, the government must develop a process for broader-base
 d collaboration in a spirit of cooperative decision making in accordance w
 ith international law.\n\nAbout Risa Schwartz\n\nRisa Schwartz is a sole p
 ractitioner\, focusing on international law and the intersections between
