Mr. Speaker, we all remember the fiasco of having to pay the Ethyl corporation $19 million. We learned today from Santa Barbara, California, that Sun Belt Water is suing the Canadian government for up to $15 billion under chapter 11 of NAFTA.
My question is for the Minister of the Environment. Would he now admit that Canada's water export policy will not be decided by the Parliament of Canada, Canadian laws or the courts of Canada, but that it will essentially be decided by three faceless trade lawyers operating in secret on the basis of NAFTA trade rules?
