Some of our major trading partners, the United States and the European Union, for example, have, for a number of years, been concerned that Canada's domestic framework in this area doesn't meet international best practice and could be improved.

The international enforcement aspects of moving forward, Bill C-32 and other initiatives, are part of the domestic response to those kinds of concerns from trading partners. So, yes, they do exist.
