No, Mr. Speaker, the government has not changed its position.
The Government of Canada signed chapter 11 of NAFTA some years ago and we believe that it is absolutely imperative that investments be protected around trade agreements.
What we have been seeking as a government has been a clarification from panels that have made some decisions which we think do not really reflect the intentions of the countries when the agreement was signed. There is a difference. We are not reopening or renegotiating the chapter. We want to clarify some elements for the future.
