I'm happy to clarify. Engaging in the process that's offered by NCPs is voluntary. A case is brought before a particular NCP in one of the 48 countries by perhaps an NGO or a trade union. Then that NCP will contact the company that's concerned, explain what the case is about, and invite them to engage in the exercise, if the NCP has accepted the case. If all goes well and both sides agree, they sit down, sometimes with professional mediators, etc.
You mentioned sanctions, in terms of not participating. That's actually quite unique to Canada. It's a great example of beginning to see the connections between this mechanism and other areas of what we term “economic diplomacy”. That has been used within these cases.
What is also interesting is that we do see some coordination within governments with regard to transferring reports to export credit agencies and other parts of government that might be interested in these cases. However, ultimately, it is a voluntary process for both sides to sit down, and hopefully, reach resolution of the issues involved.
