Mr. Chairman, this was the important point that I wanted to raise regarding the so-called amendment to the English version.
Coming back to what Mr. Menzies said, I remember that at a previous meeting, some Conservative members of the committee stated that there was no imminent problem with water within the NAFTA framework. Of course, I did a bit of research and I read some texts similar to those put forward by Mr. Menzies. Now we are finding out that the gates are wide opened. If we are not careful about bulk exports of water, we're going to come up against some serious problems. Therefore, we should be clear about this.
As the saying goes, there's no harm in being overly cautious. If Mr. Menzies is convinced that water will never be an issue for NAFTA, let's make sure that it is clearly stated.
