Thank you.
Our party has been on the record as having concerns, as you know. A couple of concerns we have are about transparency and accessibility and accountability.
The transparency issue.... I understand it, and it's good news when you hear that it's not going to cost anything and that it's win-win. I'm from the school that believes there's also no free lunch. Transparency vis-à-vis the World Bank is an issue, not just with our party but with many, including people who are within the World Bank, if you talk to them off-line.
My concern, and my understanding of this agreement, is that it's a consent-based process. Once you consent to the process, what avenues do you have for appeal? And when a decision is made, what access do citizens have in terms of for-the-record decisions? Are we subject to the ATI here, and do we have any access to published decisions so that one can view any particular case?
I'll just start with that, and that's the transparency issue.
