Mr. Speaker, my colleagues Zoellick, Derbez and I have instructed officials to examine the investment protection rules in chapter 11 and report back in the fall of 2002.
In terms of the Pope & Talbot tribunal's order for Canada to withhold information requested under the Canadian Access to Information Act, we are challenging the tribunal's ruling in the Federal Court of Canada. These are important public policy issues and this government is committed to promoting transparency in all areas, including the chapter 11 dispute settlement.
