Mr. Speaker, our government has not yet tabled its position relating to investments with respect to the free trade area of the Americas.
What I have always said, however, is that we are going to take into account, within the free trade area of the Americas, of the experience we have acquired with NAFTA. There are certain precautions we are going to take, because we are currently engaged in the process of clarifying certain potential interpretations of this chapter, and obviously cannot sign anything in the FTAA that would not reflect the improvements we want to make in light of present realities.
At this point in time we are still involved in consultations with Canadians and our position will be made public as soon as it has been established.
