As I mentioned, the fisheries subsidies agreement is indeed the first agreement that fully meets one of the SDGs, that being SDG 14.6. Indeed, it is around controlling and regulating subsidies for fish stocks. It is the first multilateral agreement that actually deals with trade and environment.
Canada has, as I mentioned in my comments, through our work on the trade and environment sustainability discussions and our leadership role in concluding the fisheries agreement.... Again, that is actually a concluded agreement. We have just continued the work to go even further. There is more to hammer out, but we actually do have an agreement, which is very important, and which Canada played a leadership role on. That was the result of all the members, through the leadership of Canada, recognizing that sustainability issues and environment issues are at the core now of every multilateral organization, whether we like it or not. Issues surrounding sustainability and environment are crucial to the way we negotiate trade agreements and the way we set up the environment for trade for our companies.
As the common global good that the environment is, all members at the WTO recognize that this global problem of climate change requires global solutions. That is why the WTO, through leadership by Canada and by others, has taken that step with the fisheries agreement, but is going further right away with the second generation of an agreement and is also continuing work on trade and environment writ large across the organization.
