I mentioned the Energy Charter Treaty, which Canada has not been signed off on the basis of the ISDS element. People are stepping away from it for fear of corporations suing.

Regarding article 8.10, enough has been said regarding fair and equitable treatment but creating a legitimate expectation. The chilling effect is what we are still talking about. That is obvious. We have positivity from the deal that has been done and its provisional application. Is there any major obstacle to this going on? If there is time, can Mr. East give an example of the direct actions not open to companies, with reference to my earlier example of fracking?
