One of the problems I have is that we hear from other parties that this is a huge issue for Canada. When I go back and look at the record, we've lost eight and won nine cases against Canada. We paid out $219 million in damages and about $95 million in legal fees, yet we received some $410 billion worth of foreign direct investment.
How big of an issue is it in Canada? How restrictive is it? Are we concerned about investment in Canada, as we're seeing now with this government that they've put in policies that make sure nobody wants to invest in Canada? Is it now more the concern that we protect Canadians who invest outside of Canada? How do we take that small company that has maybe $10 million worth of sales and wants to break into a new market—let's say Europe or the U.S.—but wants to make sure that it has protection? It can't buy that protection; it's not a big multinational that's actually going to go to the courts and sue a state or the federal government in the U.S. What other than ISDS do we put in place to protect those small businesses?
