Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary secretary should be following what is happening in Europe. He should take into account the fact that we have a robust justice system, as does the European Union. Both systems protect their own investors, and there is no need to harmonize those mechanisms.
If the Conservatives really want their agreement with the European Union to be successfully concluded, why not concede that an investor state dispute settlement mechanism is unnecessary in the context of the Canada-European Union agreement and simply get rid of that measure?
