Yes, that domestic process definitely needs to be strengthened. In many trade deals or under the OECD rules, we have a national contact point where they can offer good offices. If there's a disagreement, they can say they'll provide a neutral place to meet. However, there's no power of investigation; there's no mandate for them to take it on. When I was at the CLC, we brought forward a complaint under the labour chapter between Canada and Colombia. The labour department investigated. They took it on and produced a fantastic report, but nothing mandated them to do that.
