Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine.
My question has to do with what the hon. member from Hamilton was asking about this agreement with Korea. He may not be right. This is about investment and the possibility of lawsuits for damages following decisions by provincial and municipal governments. I will cite section 8.1.
I only have it in English in front of me, but it says in section 8.1, in relation to scope and coverage of investment, in subclause 3:
For the purposes of this Chapter, measures adopted or maintained by a Party means measures adopted or maintained by:
(a) a national, sub-national, or local government and authority...
This to me means that all levels of government are open to suit by Korea if Korea's investors do not like the provisions of those measures.
Could the hon. member comment?
