Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his efforts to bring some clarity to the debate on this bill.
Ostensibly it has to do with establishing an agreement that would provide mutually agreeable arrangements for arbitration where there are disputes. The member has made a valiant effort to paint a picture that shows this is not a simple solution to enhancing and promoting Canadian competitiveness and our ability to have bilateral investment with our trading partners, et cetera.
I wonder if the member would care to summarize the importance of having our fiscal house in order, of having stable rules, and of government's responsibility on key issues relating to investment that have related impacts on the quality of our relationships with foreign countries in terms of investment.
