Public Services International hosted a workshop at the annual forum of the World Trade Organization, on 2 October 2013, in Geneva Switzerland. The focus of the workshop was to explain to ambassadors and trade negotiators from around the world why the proposed Trade in Services Agreement, being negotiated in secret and outside of the WTO framework, will hurt quality public services, workers our communities and governments. This year's WTO forum focuses on the links between trade, innovation and the digital economy. But this assumes that all so-called innovation is good. The recent unregulated proliferation of innovation and global trade in the financial services markets was one of the main causes of the global financial crisis.

Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives
The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives has been described as a "left leaning"think tank policy research institute in Canada.
It concentrates on economic policy, international trade, environmental justice and social policy. It is especially known for publishing an alternative federal budget on an annual basis. The CCPA claims that its estimates of budgetary surpluses have consistently been more accurate than those of the government. The CCPA is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency, and it reported $5.6 million in revenues in 2013. Think tanks such as the CCPA, C.D. Howe Institute, Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Fraser Institute and Montreal Economic Institute have charity status in Canada through their work in the advancement of education. The CCPA is based in Ottawa but has branch offices in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Regina, Toronto and Halifax. It is funded primarily through individual donations, but also receives research grants, and has institutional support from trade unions.

On Thursday September 26th, the Saskatchewan Office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives presented a night with former Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) Kevin Page at the University of Regina. Mr. Page reflects on his tenure as the first PBO in Canada and the identifies the obstacles and challenges that his office faced daily in its attempt to offer Canadians a level of fiscal transparency from its government that has yet to be matched. Called an "unlikely enforcer" and a "latter-day folk hero to the average taxpayer," Kevin Page's term in office allowed Canadians to scrutinize the fiscal decisions of our government like never before. Reflecting on his tenure, Page laments, "Canada's Parliament is losing its capacity to hold the government to account. There are negative implications for prosperity and democracy. I am sorry if I sound brash, but we need to wake up. There is a lot at stake."
