Trade Representative to do something about the imposition of the unfairly administered tax. Ambassador Kantor agreed that the New Brunswick PST was a violation of NAFTA. and that the United States would include the PST issue in the NAFTA dispute settlement process. But despite this explicit assurance. the issue was not. in fact. brought before NAFTAs dispute settlement process. prompting Congress last year to include an amendment I offered to immigration reform legislation calling for the U.S. Trade Representative to take this action without further delay. Throughout the early months of the PST dispute. we in the State of Maine had enormous difficulty convincing our Federal trade officials that the PST was in fact an international trade dispute that warranted their attention and action.
