Thank you.
That's certainly very good information for me to share with people in my riding in terms of getting ready for this and other agreements.
I want to read a quick quote to you as well. Steve Verheul, the chief trade negotiator, came before the committee on November 15 and stated:
CETA will not lead to forced privatization of public services. Canada has a long experience with the protection of public services in all trade agreements and is confident that CETA will allow for full policy flexibility.
How would Canadian municipalities or provinces be positively or negatively affected, and to what extent, by the opening of a Canadian subnational procurement market when CETA is ratified?
