Yes. The right to legislate is extremely important and is part of the rights that are codified in the agreements. For example, this right is recognized in the WTO Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures. That is a basic principle of trade agreements.
What we are saying is that this right must be framed so that measures would be based on science. That is what enables international trade to flourish, and that is what enables our producers here, Quebeckers and Canadians, to export their goods.
This right does exist, but it is constrained by science. Any regulatory measure must be based on science and a risk analysis.
