Thank you very much.
My question is to Mr. Yussuff and Mr. Brown.
We know very little about the government's objectives in the current negotiations with the U.K., other than that they want to reproduce the terms and conditions of CETA on some kind of non-permanent basis, I presume, although it is not exactly clear what a transitional agreement really means.
There are ISDS provisions in CETA, but they haven't come into effect yet because there are some European countries that haven't ratified that aspect of the agreement. Presumably, in a bilateral agreement, there wouldn't be cause to wait.
I know that the government, when it was passing CUSMA, made a lot out of the fact that the ISDS provisions were removed, the investor-state dispute settlement mechanism. Can you speak to signing a transitional agreement that effectively reproduces CETA between two parties that presumably have both agreed to the ISDS provisions of CETA, or would if they reappeared in a transitional agreement? Is that consistent with what the government has said around ISDS in CUSMA?
Do you think a transitional agreement between Canada and the U.K. should deliberately exclude the ISDS provisions of CETA?
I'll start with Mr. Yussuff and then go to Mr. Brown.
