Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his very thoughtful question. We believe in the rule of law. The World Trade Organization has its constitution, its charter and its rules, including the rules as to how decisions are made. We will try to apply that to other countries, including if necessary our neighbours the United States.
The charter will evolve of course. I would hope that we will be submitting amendments in the future that will strengthen the dispute settlement procedures and submit, in the ultimate, issues to the compulsory jurisdiction of the World Court. We are not afraid of that. For a number of reasons the United States is. But we can perhaps bring them along to our point of view.
