Thank you for the question.

The connection between the legislation and the agreements is that on the basis of the current agreements, Canada and these organizations will negotiate treaties that will deal with the same elements of the agreements. The legislation provides a framework that will allow for the adoption of these treaties. That's a main component of the bill. That's the interplay.
