The second variant posits a reduced role for government, and the preservation of an integrated Canadian market as a result of "negative integration". This means that the provinces or states would commit themselves to the free movement of goods, services, labour, and capital among themselves and to achieve this, their powers would be limited by mutual agreement. Essentially, they would commit themselves to avoid discriminating against each other; in other respects each would have a free hand in setting policy.

La deuxième variante avance le principe d'une diminution du rôle du gouvernement et de la conservation d'un marché canadien intégré au moyen de «l'intégration négative». Cela suppose que les provinces ou les États s'engagent à permettre la libre circulation des biens, des services, de la main-d'œuvre et des capitaux entre eux et que, à cette fin, ils s'entendent pour limiter leurs pouvoirs. Cela signifie essentiellement qu'ils s'engagent à ne pas faire de discrimination entre eux; à tous autres égards, ils ne seraient soumis à aucune contrainte en matière de politique.

In this interim report, the WG describes its work accomplished to date and its workplan for the remainder of its five year mandate. The WG has undertaken its mandate via the generation of papers which address trade and competition issues in terms of :(i) setting out the contextual framework of the discussion,(ii) the comparison of competition laws, and(iii) specific issues relevant to trade and competition. The studies undertaken to date identify similarities and differences between the competition laws and policies of the three NAFTA Parties, and consider which, if any, of these differences may have implications for trade among the three contracting parties.

The Special Program of Assistance for Africa(SPA) was established in 1987 as a response to the economic crises of the debt-distressed countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. An informal association of donors, the SPA was intended to support the countries structural adjustment programs with the International Development Association and the International Monetary Fund. The SPA did respond to the challenge. Free of the restrictive formality of other fora, donors were able to test ideas and develop a mutual understanding. High-level donor representation provided the opportunity for meaningful interactions with World Bank and IMF policy makers. The SPA helped to channel substantial quick-disbursing aid. Through peer pressure, it improved donor procedures. It broadened its agenda to address structural impediments to broad-based development. It provided a platform for frank and open exchanges on Africa's economic and social policy issues. It facilitated a convergence of development assistance goals and practices while preserving flexibility.

Le Programme spécial d'assistance à l'Afrique (PSA) a été lancé en 1987 en réaction à la crise économique qui sévissait dans les pays lourdement endettés d'Afrique subsaharienne. Association informelle de donateurs, il visait à soutenir les programmes d'ajustement structurel de ces pays conjointement avec l'Association internationale de développement et le Fonds monétaire international. Le PSA a relevé le défi. Exempt du formalisme contraignant des autres instances, il a permis de tester des idées nouvelles et de développer la compréhension mutuelle entre les donateurs. Grâce à une représentation de haut niveau, ceux-ci ont pu avoir des échanges constructifs avec les responsables de la Banque mondiale et du FMI. Le PSA a permis d'acheminer une aide à décaissement rapide importante. Sous la pression des pairs, les donateurs ont amélioré leurs procédures. Le programme d'action a été élargi pour tenter de résoudre les problèmes structurels qui font obstacle au développement général. Le PSA a servi de base à des échanges francs et ouverts sur les questions économiques et sociales qui se posent en Afrique. Il a favorisé la convergence des buts et des pratiques en matière d'aide au développement tout en préservant la flexibilité.
