Thank you very much.
Indeed, the fact that companies can provide their own data and reports on their behaviour and compliance with the rules seems quite absurd to me. You have to have more objectivity than that. Investigative powers would be a good thing. The trans‑Pacific partnership changed its name to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans‑Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP. You once wrote in an article with Ms. Sujata Dey that the use of the term “progressive” was quite ironic. You're being polite. I would have said that putting lipstick on a pig doesn't change the nature of the animal.
Among other things, you wrote the following:
Despite commitments to gender equality and indigenous rights by the Trudeau government, this agreement does not include gender and indigenous rights clauses. Only the preamble mentions these issues, but this symbolic one is not legally binding.
How do you think Canada, as chair of the CPTPP commission in 2024, could further advance its own commitments to gender equality and indigenous rights?
