Dear Mr. Cottam:
I would like to acknowledge with thanks receipt of your recent letter on the proposed Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI).
Your letter clearly sets out the issues of concern and I can understand your desire for more information and for public awareness of the implcations of such an agreement. Please be assured that I will look into the various sections of the draft which you have indicated are of special concern and will communicate with my colleagues and the constituents of Ottawa Centre on issues which require review or input.
We will stay in touch on this matter and I thank you once again for drawing my attention to your concerns and to the need for a closer look at this proposal.
Sincerely,
Mac Harb
