His Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of
Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances,
in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure ``An Act to
implement the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement entitled ''.

This enactment implements the Free Trade Agreement between
Canada and Israel (the Agreement), signed by the Minister for
International Trade at Toronto on July 31, 1996.
|

The general provisions of the enactment specify that no private
recourse may be taken on the basis of the provisions of Part I or any
order made under that Part, or the provisions of the Agreement itself,
without the consent of the Attorney General of Canada.

Part I of the enactment approves the Agreement and provides for the
designation or appointment of Ministers or other persons to carry out
various functions of the Agreement, the payment by Canada of its share
of the expenditures associated with the operation of the institutional
aspects of the Agreement and the power of the Governor in Council to
make regulations for carrying out the provisions of the enactment.
|
|
|
|
Part II amends existing laws in order to bring them into conformity
with Canada's obligations under the Agreement.
|
|
|
|
Part III states that the Governor in Council may not issue an order
bringing into force any of the provisions of the enactment until the
Governor in Council is satisfied that Israel has taken satisfactory steps
to implement the Agreement.
