Thanks to both of you for being here.
Ms. Sullivan, you mentioned that the Canada-European trade agreement, or CETA, is a next-generation agreement, very comprehensive. It's true. It's not just about trade. You mentioned services. The agreement is about the fact that European corporations could theoretically bid on subnational contracts—water, waste water treatment, local procurement. There will be an investors' rights clause similar to the one under NAFTA, where a corporation can sue a certain level of Canadian government if it's refused access. For example, if a community wants to give preference to local companies, it theoretically could be sued by a corporation. This is a pretty comprehensive agreement. We're told that supply management isn't on the table. But there will be tremendous pressure to modify it, if not get rid of it altogether.
I'm just wondering, as a Canadian nationalist, how far do we go before we...? Trade is good, but how far do we go before we lose our ability to control our own destiny? I'm speaking here on that whole subnational contract clause, which has never been in any trade agreement, other than our response to the U.S. “Buy American” campaign. I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on that.
