I disagree with you on this completely, there has to be a fair escape clause or else you can get a government that can enact completely harmful changes to an industry or a company without consequence and damn any previously signed agreements. Any company with any kind of intelligent negotiation team is going to want an escape clause to protect them from damaging changes.


And if that is upheld by the courts, businesses will look at the NDP as business hostile and not invest here.
