ITEM 4 - MOVING AGRICULTURE NEGOTIATIONS FORWARD - COMMUNICATION FROM BRAZIL (WT/GC/W/931)

• Canada would like to thank Brazil for continuing to remind the Membership of the importance of agriculture reform and for its tireless efforts to move the negotiations forward. We’d also like to thank Australia for its intervention on behalf of the Cairns Group.  We would like to add our thanks to the Chair of CoA SS for his tireless efforts.
• As we said before MC13, we see a lot of value in having a clear work plan and timelines to help guide our work in CoA SS.
• We worked very hard alongside many Members to try to find compromise language at MC13 that would have allowed us to deliver a work plan.
• We see this document as an important continuation of this work, and we hope that Members could show some flexibility to set us up for success on this critical issue in Cameroon.
• Canada is ready to do this work, but we are also sensitive to the views of many that we should not lose too much time “negotiating how to negotiate.” With that in mind, we very much support Brazil’s hard deadline of July.
• My delegation looks forward to working in any informal configuration to try to find a text here that can reach consensus by our next meeting.
• We of course continue to support the CoA SS and its esteemed Chair, and the refining of the work plan to be done in an informal, Member-driven manner. We cannot do the same thing over expecting a different result.

ITEM 5 - POLICY SPACE FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT – ADVANCING WTO COMMITTEE WORK TO SUPPORT STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES – REQUEST FROM THE AFRICAN GROUP

• Canada thanks the African Group for its updates on proposed next steps on its policy space papers.
• We look forward to further discussions and welcome more focussed and structured discussions, including on a sectoral basis as is proposed in South Africa’s proposal. We believe that more specificity is key. We believe that more specificity is key.
• Thank you.

ITEM 6 - PRESERVING THE CURRENT PRACTICE OF CONSENSUS-BASED DECISION-MAKING IN THE WTO – COMMUNICATION FROM THE ACP GROUP (WT/GC/W/932)

ITEM 7 - RESPONSIBLE CONSENSUS – COMMUNICATION FROM COSTA RICA; THE GAMBIA; KOREA, REPUBLIC OF; NORWAY; PERU; SINGAPORE; SWITZERLAND AND THE SEPARATE CUSTOMS TERRITORY OF TAIWAN, PENGHU, KINMEN AND MATSU (WT/GC/W/933)

• Thank both the ACP Group and the co-sponsors of the communication on responsible consensus.
• We hope this will be the beginning of a fruitful and timely discussion.
• This is exactly the conversation we can and should be having
• Canada finds even the conversation that we have had today - from Samoa on behalf of the ACP, from Singapore, from the OECS and others to be exactly the conversation we should and need to be having - in order for the organization to maintain its relevance and grows its influence as my colleagues from the OECS rightly noted.
• We sincerely hope that the two papers are used as an opportunity to have a conversation around how to do things better in this organization, how we get things done and how we move forward.
• We do not see responsible consensus as related to any recalibration of members’ rights and obligations.
• We recognize that the ability of one member to oppose decisions they are concerned about, and which might affect their national interest, is a valuable and important right.
• However, as some have said already today, on both sides of the coin, this right must not be abused. We have heard many concerns in this regard, including from smaller and developing members over the course of months and years in this organisation.
• We see the conversation on consensus-based decision-making as aimed at reforming the culture around reaching consensus at the WTO, not the principle of consensus itself.
