The citizen submission process administered by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation was one of the key concessions made to the environmental movement by the governments of Canada, Mexico, and the United States in their effort to build political support for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1993. The environmental groups that subsequently endorsed the new trade agreement believed a firm commitment had been made that this process would give ordinary citizens an effective tool for strengthening the enforcement of environmental laws. A review of the operation of the process reveals a number of problem areas, the most important of which have resulted from various actions taken by the three governments over the past several years. It is argued here that these actions threaten to undermine the credibility of the citizen submission process, even among environmentalists who supported NAFTA, and that the resulting disillusionment could strengthen opposition to future trade agreements.
