Mr. Minister, thank you for that.
Is there anything in the agreement that would prohibit or impair the republicizing of public services once they've been privatized?
Let's say a city decides they want to privatize their sewer treatment, as Hamilton did, and they decide 10 years later that the costs are too high, or the service isn't good, and they want to bring it back in the public realm, as Hamilton did.
Is there anything in CETA that would prohibit the taking back of that service to the public sphere or that would subject the municipality or province to a lawsuit from corporations for loss of profits?
