Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Verheul, welcome to our committee. Thank you for the great work you did over the challenging period we're facing.
We heard in the first hour of the testimony from an international trade lawyer, Mr. Herman. I was left with a feeling that while this is in front of us, we have to deal with it and approve it. Subsequently, we heard from a lot of other organizations. They highlighted the benefits, how it has helped, how it's been preserved and how it's been modernized.
Also, in the briefing notes I notice that the negotiating team has proposed at least three different dispute settlement mechanisms. Those dispute settlement mechanisms involve bringing in different stakeholders, and the way in which disputes could be handled. Can you shed some light on these three different dispute settlement mechanisms, who the stakeholders are, and how this is actually preserving and modernizing the CUSMA?
