My alternative to investor-state provisions in trade deals is to remove them. We have a pretty stringent independent court system in this country. I just think there's something wrong when we allow our governments to be hamstrung by an outside investor-state process that in fact does tie their hands to implement laws and policies that are in the best interests of Canadians.
There is no grey area, sir. With all due respect, the only alternative is to remove investor-state provisions from trade deals.
