“This bill helps us follow our treaties better. That creates more certainty for the economy. I want my colleague to explain more about how following these treaties helps the economy.”
“Madam Speaker, I very much appreciated my colleague’s speech. He made a very important point that I am going to ask him to elaborate on now, which is that this bill has the prospect of not only improving our treaty relationships and improving the likelihood of really good adherence to treaties, but also creating more economic certainty. If we have adherence to treaties that have an economic dimension, that means an accountability function through Parliament allows more potential certainty with respect to the underlying economic relations of the treaty. I am wondering if my colleague could elaborate on that.”
