The Council of Canadians, with over 70 European, Canadian and Québecois groups, has signed on to a joint statement strongly opposing the inclusion of an excessive investment protection chapter and investor-state dispute settlement process (ISDS) in the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). The statement has been signed by multiple organizations demanding that the European Union and Canada cease negotiating investor rights and an investor-state dispute settlement process into the CETA. The signatories vigorously oppose any transatlantic agreement that compromises our democracies, human and Indigenous rights, and our right to protect our health and the planet
