  • "This policy research paper was proposed and developed under a call for proposals in August 2001, entitled Trade Agreements and Women. Research projects funded by Status of Women Canada on this theme examine issues such as gender implications of Canada's commitments on labour mobility in trade agreements; the effect of trade agreements on the provision of health care in Canada; the social, economic, cultural and environmental impacts of free trade agreements on Canadian Aboriginal women; building Canadian models of integrating gender perspective into trade agreements; the repercussions of the trade agreements on the proactive employment equity measures for women that are applicable to private-sector employers in Canada; and the effects of trade agreements on women with disabilities. [...] A complete list of the research projects funded under this call for proposals is included at the end of this report."--Preface.
