I would say a couple of things. First, a provision in the larger chapter is more realistic than you might think. The challenge will be whether or not it has any teeth.
The digital trade chapter in NAFTA is, we are told, modelled on the TPP e-commerce chapter. They've renamed it digital trade, but it's basically or in many respects the same chapter. There was a net neutrality provision included in the TPP. It was very weak. That's why I would say that having general language doesn't achieve very much; it isn't all that helpful. Having something a little stronger would be quite helpful.
I would also note...and this comes directly out of the lead negotiators' discussion this week. They've made pretty good progress on digital trade with a couple of issues that are outstanding. We're looking for net neutrality. They're looking for an Internet intermediary safe harbour provision, similar to what they have in the United States, which also protects freedom of expression. I actually think it's long been a missing provision in Canada. It's the sort of thing that it would be to our advantage to craft a responsible provision consistent with what they're asking for.
I actually think there is room to negotiate and meet both our needs in that particular chapter.
