One thing I'm sensitive to is the primacy of corporate law over what I think to be fundamental human rights and environmental rights. I reference, just by example, the Canada-Russian Federation bilateral investment treaty, which has the same dispute resolution system in it. I'm not clear that's been interrupted despite some of the heinous acts that country has committed and the sanctions that are applied to it.
In a like way, when I look at ASEAN, I think about Myanmar. I think about some of the other very real investigations on human rights and atrocities that are being committed by other countries listed within this study.
I just want to ask, through you, Madam Chair, if Mr. Trew would reflect on the way in which we ought to be considering, as legislators, the balance of international law. I reference the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples versus these investor-state dispute resolution processes.
