Mr. Speaker, the whole goal of the negotiations for an MAI is to set clear rules, clear regulations and above all, the highest standards possible that will govern both investment into Canada as well as outward investment across the world.
What we want to avoid certainly from our country's perspective is that investment flows to the lowest standards in the developing world. That is why I have been saying that after the OECD we must transfer the whole issue of negotiating a multilateral agreement on investment to the WTO so that we can standardize business in the third world as well.
