Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for joining us today.
Could you tell me what specific measures, what monitoring mechanisms are in place to ensure compliance with the agreements, especially when it comes to labour rights? We have been talking about an independent review panel. Who is responsible for striking the panel? Who is going to be on the panel? Why is there no financial penalty in cases of non-compliance?
There are several parts to my question. Could you tell me why we have not adopted the American approach, under which those measures are apparently enshrined in the enforcement provisions of the free trade agreement with Panama?
