CETA DEAL NOT A VICTORY FOR CANADA

The deal as written contains a fundamental imbalance. European firms would be able to challenge, at special investment courts, Canadian laws and regulations that interfere with profit-making.
But Canadian firms would have the same rights only in those EU countries that specifically allow such challenges.
