Thank you, Mr. Chair. You may be vice-chair, but today you're the chair.
I would like to say hello to all of my colleagues.
I thank all the witnesses for their evidence today.
Mr. Turp, you are an expert in international law, I believe. You have taught, you have been a professor, and you have supervised many master's theses and doctoral dissertations on these issues.
In your previous career as a member of Parliament, you worked on the making of trade deals and accountability to Parliament.
We've heard all kinds of arguments today, both for and against Bill C‑282. Among the concerns that have been raised, we are told that it could undermine the way negotiations are concluded.
As an expert on the subject, do you share that concern?
