Although I'm not a legal expert and my understanding of FIPA is probably not as strong as it should be, I think when we're looking at Canadian engagement with China, first and foremost we should understand that the legal environment within China is not rule of law, it's rule by law. That's an important distinction when we're understanding how Canadian governments are investing within China. They are subject to the legal system produced by the Communist Party of China, which is subject to shifts in the Communist Party. This is very different from the Canadian context where a rule of law system means the court system has an independent decision-making process that can protect businesses and give them a predictable environment.
When we are looking at trade agreements with China and instruments such as FIPA, we should not be naive and think we will receive reciprocal treatment in China.
I'll stop there.
