We don't typically expect—though, granted trade negotiation teams are large and have a lot of expertise—the negotiating team to be able to foresee everything when we burrow down into an issue either as a committee or in various government departments.
If trade agreements are going to be determinative of a particular kind of issue, does it make sense to build somewhere into the principles of a statute governing those protections for Canadians that it's a goal of the Canadian government to try to enshrine those same protections in international agreements? It's not something binding, obviously. It's not to say you can't sign a deal. There's always going to be give and take, but it's to try to build that into the framework so that it's something that Canadian trade negotiating teams are more likely to take note of. It raises a flag for them that these are questions you have to ask when you go to the negotiating table.
Does that make sense as a tool, to try to put that on the radar?
