Good morning.
Thank you so much for your presentations. They all brought some cautions and some pluses to the TPP, which is something we've heard at this committee table often.
I want to say to Madame Lagacé that we had Jim Balsillie from Research in Motion in last week, and he cautioned us about the TPP being signed, saying that there would be no Canadian innovation on that type of grand scale going forward. He has grave concerns as well that probably your members share.
I'd like to go to Mr. Serinet.
It's worth repeating that 97% of Canadian exports to TPP countries are already duty free. We know this; we've heard it from many witnesses prior to you. The concern is that of the 30 chapters contained in this 6,000-page document, only six have to do with trade in the traditional sense that we hear those who are in favour of it sitting before us saying they would like to see.
It's clear that foreign corporations will have more rights in Canada under the ISDS provisions than domestic corporations. Can you speak to us a bit about that? Of the 19 people who presented yesterday, I think 19 of them said to us that they have concerns around the ISDS. Can you elaborate on that for us?
