The question that prompts my statement is why, then, did Canada not object to restarting negotiations on the basis of this last text?
In the words of our negotiator this morning--to me--now that those brackets are gone from that text, that is no longer an item that other countries intend to come back to. Canada may indeed want to come back to it, but the other countries feel now that it's a settled item, and it's not up on the short list of things to negotiate over this coming year.
