"The Trade and Investment Research Project (TIRP) pools resources and expertise from a wide range of Canadian non-governmental organizations to understand the implications of the latest generation of trade and investment treaties. Formed in 1999, the project examines the effects of these far-reaching treaties on public services, public interest regulation, environmental protection and alternative economic development. TIRP has gained a national and international reputation for rigorous, accessible studies critical of corporate-driven globalization and for its commitment to exploring practical alternatives."
