“Actually, CTR was given the job in the late 1980s. They published a total of 3 reports, the last in 1996.”
Sounds about right since NAFTA was actually cobbled together during the late ‘80s by the GHWB administration and later passed by Clinton in ‘93.
The bilateral agreement with Canada was completed by the Reagan administration. The framework of the Mexican agreement was completed by the Reagan administration. Combining the agreements had more to do with Canada than it did with the US.
"passed by Clinton"
The official signing of NAFTA was done in Dec of '92 by Bush, Mulroney, and Salinas. The dem congress insisted that some labor and environmental protections be added. Those parallel agreements were negotiated in '93 and signed by Clinton. Congress approved and all three agreements went into effect in 1994.
As it turned out, the parallel agreements were toothless, so the dems say that if they can take the presidency next year, they will renegotiate NAFTA to add the labor and environmental protections. More accurately, they want to undermine the investor protections in Chapter 11.
