That's correct, but there is another mechanism that we must not underestimate and which exerts more pressure at the social level. There is a subsidy committee which is not a tribunal but to which a country can indicate, for example, that Canada is doing something untoward. The country can ask the committee to take a look at what is happening. Of course, the subsidies committee has no enforcement powers, but it can take note of what some of the countries are saying. For example, the United States can turn to the committee to express its concerns about Canada's salmon policy and ask the committee to take a look and report back. So Canada will have to respond to some questions; it will be aware that it has been singled out and that it is being closely monitored. Nevertheless, the basic weapon is the official complaint that one country can make against another.
