Madam Speaker, the mechanism in question was removed from our main agreement, the one we signed with the United States and Mexico that covers 80% of our exports.
No one has died so far. I understand that there needs to be a way to resolve disputes. However, it must not be limited to for-profit companies and the state. There should also be clauses to protect the public when their environmental and social rights are violated by the multinational investors.
As for a dispute between a corporation and a state, just look at the agreement with the United Kingdom. Our two countries are governed by the rule of law, and our highly developed legal systems are even quite similar in many respects. I think that we could just use the existing legal systems to handle any disputes.
