I think that the ISDS mechanisms in particular have been problematic in the assorted iterations, as in chapter 11 and several NAFTA actions, for example, against the Canadian Wheat Board, which no longer exists. This is again the shift of the possibility of governments to act in their own citizens' interests to outside tribunals. They are outside tribunals that actually don't use precedents in their decisions. Each decision is separate. They arbitrarily decided recently to charge compound interest on awards given to complainants.
We're working with a very small group of international trade lawyers, who are selected tribunals of three—each party selects one, and then they agree on a third one—to fundamentally alter important processes and regulations or whatever in the country. An old one, of course, is MMT, a neurotoxin seen as an additive in fuel. The banning of that was reversed.
Anyway, we're very concerned that what we're doing is hobbling our ability to govern ourselves in our own democratic interests. We're giving it out to entities that actually have no responsibility to our citizens or anyone else.
