Good morning.
I thank all the witnesses.
Allow me to first apologize for the microphone quality, which is not ideal. I also want to apologize to the interpreters. I will speak loudly and slowly.
I thank the minister for joining us.
You brought up the fact that there would be an investor-state dispute settlement mechanism.
Why, after removing such a mechanism from CUSMA, is it being brought back in the first agreement negotiated following the adoption of CUSMA, especially in a context of a health crisis where such mechanisms could be used to undermine the special measures we have implemented?
