I confirm that I am on the campus grounds of the Oireachtas. I thank the speakers for their statements and insight into CETA. I have two short questions. The investment court system will alienate the judicial power of our national courts. Do the witnesses believe there is a risk of the ISDS undermining public policy? I am looking for a "Yes" or "No" answer to that. Second, with regard to membership of the tribunal, considering we have no involvement in the make-up of the tribunal and no real way of ensuring the members have no conflicts of interest, how do we ensure the decisions made by the ISDS will be independent, impartial and in the best interests of national policies?
