Mr. Speaker, the vice-president of the European Commission and the Canadian government examined potential solutions, including-according to Mr. Brittan as reported by the Canadian Press-trying to persuade the United States to restrict the scope of the act in such a way that it would be less harmful.
Are we to understand that the government is about to negotiate with the U.S. minor amendments to make it slightly less harsh instead of going directly to the international courts in order to have this act purely and simply annulled?
