Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll turn to you, Mr. Vaillancourt.
In 2016, you spoke to the Standing Committee on International Trade about the Trans‑Pacific Partnership. You raised concerns about investor‑state dispute settlement mechanisms.
At the time, we could see that these mechanisms gave unbelievable rights to private companies over local will and democracies.
A few years later, do you still see these mechanisms as an issue, a threat, a challenge?
How have things changed in this area?
