Although I appreciate the thoughtfulness in the amendment, I think it's another unnecessary amendment, Mr. Chair. As with previous agreements, there is already a provision in the environment chapter that prohibits parties from wavering or derogating from their environmental law to encourage trade or investment between the parties.
There is also a provision in the investment chapter that discourages derogation from environmental measures, and also includes health and safety and other measures that would be in order to encourage investment. I think what he's suggesting here is unnecessary.
