I think that's a very important point in that since investor-state arbitration was on the table for the European Union in its relations with the United States, many European officials at the national level and at the regional level have expressed concerns about assuming the fiscal risks and the regulatory constraints associated with investor-state arbitration when you're dealing with major foreign companies that are going to be covered in that way.
From the Canadian point of view, to me it couldn't be clearer that the Canadian interest is to avoid including investor-state arbitration in the CETA because of the much greater role that European companies can be expected to play in the Canadian economy. In a way, when the shoe is on the other foot with the Europeans, there has been this great deal of public concern.
What's slightly ironic about that is I was told by a European Commission official that it was Canada that asked for investor-state arbitration in the Canada-EU CETA. I don't know whether that's true or not, but if that is true, I really can't imagine what the explanation could be for that.
