I've practised litigation for 10 years and, believe me, the judicial process isn't exactly necessarily the best way to settle disputes. There are many private dispute mechanisms in all aspects of life, such as family law. Most divorces are done through private dispute resolution now.
I don't think the private nature of it is necessarily the issue. There may be some more issues there, but I don't think we need to say that because it's a private dispute, it's bad. I don't necessarily think it is. In fact, I think it can be more efficient and we can get better results that way. That seems to be the case through other private dispute mechanisms. There's a lot of talk about ISDS by a lot of people who don't understand ISDS, and I'm happy to hear your input, because as a lawyer you clearly have a better appreciation of it than some others.
On the environment, I want to point you to article 20.4.1 of the TPP, which I'm sure you're familiar with. It's just one line, so I'll read it for you, just to make sure:
...each Party affirms its commitment to implement the multilateral environmental agreements to which it is a party.
From my understanding, wouldn't that reinforce the Paris agreement? If we were a party to it by the time this is ratified, wouldn't that reinforce our commitments to those environmental agreements? How can you say that it weakens it?
