Exactly.
It is important to understand that other states are defining it for Canada because of our prevailing situation. A fundamental principle of international law is that we are all equal under the law. This principle is enshrined in the universal declaration, and elsewhere. It is in our Constitution, in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
When a company owes money to a bank and does not pay, there are consequences, and the bank will no longer continue to invest in the company or lend it money. For mining companies, that law does not exist. It is all very well for us to ask them all to be equal under the law, but sometimes, in Canada, that law does not exist and, overseas, it is not applied.
