The labour provisions in the agreement don't specifically require the countries to even meet the core ILO labour standards provision. While countries may be expected to enforce their laws, we're not sure specifically what laws they will enforce if they don't already have adequate laws on their books.
It's not for us to tell other countries, of course, how to conduct themselves in labour relations, but more importantly, the ILO has been a governing body on behalf of labour rights for the world, and most of these countries participate in it. The TPP agreement does not require them to enforce the core labour standards of the ILO agreement.
Secondly, there are no sanctionable penalties for countries that are not meeting that requirement, in my view. Clearly, I think we're a country that has continued to enhance the protection of our workers. We think this agreement will have a ratcheting down effect on labour, on the wages of workers within our country. I think it will continue to put that downward pressure on wages, as we have seen with Mexico and the other countries that we have negotiated trade agreements with, because they are not required to raise their very low labour standards. There's a deep concern about that.
The studies that we have seen say that it's going to put enormous pressure on the challenge of improving labour conditions within these countries.
