Thats some fine negotiating, steve, Canada loses, China wins... We come out on the losing side on both, said Van Harten. We should insist on reciprocity. The treaty does not allow for market access except under the exisiting legal framework of each country. The problem with that, Van Harten said, is Canadas legal framework is more open and less opaque than Chinas existing legal framework which will benefit China more than it will benefit Canada. The question we should all be asking ourselves Van Harten said, is has Canada conceded something now that we were not prepared to concede under previous governments? And according to Van Harten, the answer is its quite possible.
