Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Trew, I'd like to follow up with you a little bit on the investor-state provisions. I notice that Australia and India are two countries that have recently changed their policies and they no longer table investor-state provisions as part of their negotiations package.
My understanding of investor-state provisions is that the theory is that they are required when you're negotiating an agreement with a country that does not have a mature judiciary system or a sufficiently solid rule of law or legal climate to give assurance to companies doing business there that they won't have their businesses unfairly expropriated, etc.
When you're talking about a trade agreement with a mature democracy like Japan, which obviously has a fully functioning, mature judiciary, what would be your advice about whether or not we need an investor-state provision, and the wisdom of tabling such in any negotiations with Japan?
