Thank you to all the witnesses for being with us today.
Perhaps I will ask again some questions that I previously asked the minister. However, I will not ask the question for which no answer was readily available. We will wait for the written explanation. But I would like to go back to the investor-state dispute settlement mechanism.
Why is Canada willing to accept that mechanism and using a defensive strategy? Why is Canada promoting such provisions, in spite of the precedent set by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, where the mechanism was abandoned?
