Mr. Speaker, at the Quebec City summit, the Prime Minister declared that chapter 11 of NAFTA governing disputes between investors and government worked well.
Yet the Prime Minister should know that Canada is accumulating setbacks under chapter 11. Following Ethyl Corporation and S.D. Myers, a tribunal has found in favour of Metalclad over Mexico, in a matter of expropriation, despite Canada's opinion to the contrary and its intervention.
In the light of all these examples, will the Prime Minister acknowledge that chapter 11 creates problems, since it severely restricts countries' sovereignty?
