However, it is very important to point out that we are not supporting it blindly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3831762\" data-originallang=\"fr\">This free trade agreement contains a new clause that we are concerned about. Under this clause, large corporations will be able to take legal action against the Canadian government if they feel their free trade rights have been violated. However, the rights of governments should take precedence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3831763\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Would my honourable colleague care to comment on that?</p>",

Toutefois, nous ne le faisons pas aveugl\u00e9ment. C'est tr\u00e8s important de le mentionner.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3831762\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Dans cet accord de libre-\u00e9change, on retrouve de nouveau une clause qui nous pr\u00e9occupe. En vertu de cette clause, les grandes entreprises peuvent poursuivre l'\u00c9tat canadien si elles jugent qu'on bafoue leur droit au libre march\u00e9. Or les droits des \u00c9tats devraient primer sur tous les autres droits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3831763\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mon honorable coll\u00e8gue voudrait-elle commenter cette disposition?</p>"
