Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, everybody, for your presentations today.
It's nice to have a fellow lawyer on the panel, because we've heard a lot of talk about ISDS and, frankly, some of the positions are based on mischaracterization and misinformation on what the ISDS is meant to do. In fact, the ISDS will protect Canadians who have operation overseas as well, so it cuts both ways, like any trade agreement.
I'm not going to suggest that ISDS is not without some risk. There certainly is, but my understanding—and Ms. Wilson, maybe you can elaborate—is that in order to avail oneself of the ISDS provisions, one must be treated in a discriminatory way by a domestic corporation. A multinational can't just willy-nilly sue the Canadian government because they don't happen to like some regulation.
Do you agree with that assessment? Or do you think it's broader and that any corporation can sue the Canadian government or the provincial government because they're regulating trade?
