Mr. Speaker, our ability to take action on health and the environment is once again being challenged because of chapter 11 of NAFTA. While a study shows that the government could be sued following a possible health system reform, a court just sentenced Canada to pay over $8 million to S.D. Myers for issuing an order on the export of PCBs.
Can the Minister for International Trade assure us that provisions similar to those in NAFTA's chapter 11 will not be included in other agreements such as the FTAA?
