加拿大弃权跨太平洋伙伴关系不是一个可行选择

　　CANADA - Abstention by Canada from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is not a viable option for the export-dependent agriculture and agrifood sector of the country, Canadian Meat Council (CMC) President Joe Reda has said.

　　“The decisions that are made this week will determine whether the sector looks backward to the past and withers or whether it looks forward to the future and grows,” added Mr Reda. According to the Council, Canada has one of the most trade-dependent agricultural sectors in the world, exporting over half of its agriculture and agri-food production, 65 per cent of which is destined to TPP markets. In its statement, the Council added that loss of competitive access to the critical TPP markets would be devastating for Canadian feed grain and livestock farmers as well as for workers and rural municipalities throughout the nation.

　　加拿大——加拿大在跨太平洋伙伴关系(TPP)中弃权并不是一个可行的选择，它是依赖出口的农业和农业食品的国家，加拿大肉理事会(CMC)总裁乔﹒里达说。

　　“本周做出的决策将决定这个行业看起来比过去落后还是期待未来的增长，”里达先生补充说。根据委员会,加拿大有一个世界上最依赖贸易的农业部门，出口超过一半的农业食品，这决定TPP市场的65%。委员会在其声明中说，失去竞争性的、至关重要的TPP市场通道，对加拿大整个国家的经营饲料谷物和牲畜的农场主和工人们将是毁灭性的。
