They put out a new trade policy this morning, and I referenced it. I have a hyperlink I can share with committee members, if they're interested.
Basically, they're not going to include investor-state dispute procedures within their bilateral or regional trade agreements anymore, which creates an interesting question around the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks, because Australia is involved, and other countries are seeking those kinds of protections in that trade deal.
Basically, their position was that it's an Australian company's own responsibility to absorb the risk of investing in other countries, and that when it comes to home territory in Australia, foreign companies should have the same treatment as local companies. That would mean requiring them to go through the courts when they have investment disputes with government measures.
In countries such as Canada and in the EU, that's completely conceivable, because we have highly developed legal systems. You don't need this added protection for investment.
