Thanks.
Mr. Mann, I'm glad you clarified Mr. Brison's questions. We're not just talking about most favoured nation provisions that require us to treat European investors the same as Canadian investors. We're also talking about independent sources of rights under the provisions for fair and equitable treatment.
I have a bit of the text here in front of me. One of the things it says is that a “breach of fair and equitable treatment may also arise from any other treatment of covered investments or investors which is contrary to the fair and equitable treatment obligation recognized in the general practice of States accepted as law”.
That sounds to me like we're agreeing to something undefined, in the future, and out of our control.
Who determines the obligations for the general practice of states accepted as law? Where do I go to find out who makes those decisions?
