Mr. Van Rythoven, trade agreements such as the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement contain specific requirements preventing the signatories from weakening environmental protections to favour trade. The government is saying that the current protections appear to be preventing carbon leakage, in other words, the relocation of greenhouse gas emissions.
Do you think the provisions in the agreements could do the opposite and encourage some companies to move their operations outside the country?
