Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I thank all of you for your presentations.
My questions are addressed to Ms. Lévesque and Mr. Dalcé.
According the Confédération des syndicats nationaux, “although some slight improvements were proposed to remedy some well-documented legal flaws in the [ISDS arbitration tribunals], none of them correct the wide array of flaws in this arbitration system which lacks transparency, accountability and independence”. According to Global Affairs Canada, however, “the chapter provides access to an independent international investor-state dispute settlement [ISDS] mechanism that is prompt, fair and transparent, and subject to appropriate safeguards”.
Can you suggest amendments that could improve the text of the TPP with regard to transparency, accountability and independence?
