An insider who presented a paper at a recent North American Forum meeting in Mexico is concluding that the Security and Prosperity Partnership plan has failed.

"The Security and Prosperity Partnership is dead," reporter John Ibbitson of Canada's Globe and Mail told WND in a telephone interview.

Ibbitson, who was invited to present a paper at the meeting because he is a strong proponent of increased international trade, especially between Canada and the United States, said he believes public exposure has stalled SPP efforts.

Others disagree with his conclusion, but they do agree that the public's awareness of the program and some of its features will trigger changes.

"The opposition in all three countries has exposed the SPP North American integration agenda," wrote Stuart Trew, a researcher and writer for the Council of Canadians. "But it is not fair to say the SPP has died altogether."

He said the SPP "as an over-arching project may have suffered from being exposed, but progress in North American integration will continue in many different areas of public policy as long as the trilateral working groups remain in place and the bureaucrats from the three nations keep meeting."

WND has obtained a copy of the North American Forum's secretive annual meeting on "North American Cooperation and Community," held this year in Mexico from Oct. 12-14.
