The MP received a response dated Dec. 7 from the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) and provided a link to it on her Twitter account on Jan. 18.

“In Nov 2020 while Canadians were distracted by COVID, the Liberal govt signed a World Economic Forum-initiated Charter. The Agile Nations Charter will facilitate agile ‘rule-making’ outside of Parliament. Why the secrecy?” Lewis tweeted.

The TBS’s Inquiry of Ministry document obtained by Lewis says the WEF and the OECD also invited corporations to take part on the discussions surrounding the establishment of the Agile Nations Charter.

In other words, streamlining regulations will allow the proliferation of new technologies, which the WEF identifies in its charter toolkit as gene editing, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and autonomous vehicles.

The charter says the OECD and the WEF have an observer status, but it is not limited to observing, as they may “make proposals for inclusion in the work programme; and ... participate in other activities.”

Canada’s Involvement

What does it mean specifically for Canada?

Details about that program were revealed in October, also through an Inquiry of Ministry request submitted by Lewis.

The WEF recently held its annual meeting in Davos, where Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and International Trade Minister Mary Ng participated in discussion panels.
