Thank you.
In your notes, you say that we have “different approaches in some areas of the negotiations” and I think that's to be completely expected. I would presume that one of those different approaches might be an investor-state provision.
We've been reading that India has been very reluctant—or certainly nervous—about investor-state provisions. There have been three suits filed in 2012 against the Indian government: one in April by the British telecom giant Vodafone; on February 28, there was the Russian conglomerate, Sistema; and thirdly, a Norwegian telecom company, Telenor, has also threatened to invoke the India-Singapore Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement to protect its investments as well.
Have you had any discussions with the Indian negotiators around investor-state provisions, and is Canada pushing for an investor-state mechanism in this agreement?
