Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague from the Bloc Quebecois, and I would like her comments on this.
Should Canada not re-evaluate its way of doing things in matters of foreign policy?
Clearly, the world has changed. Canada is not the only country that must change its foreign policy. The cold war has just ended. From now on, the only thing that matters is trade. The agreements signed in China are an example of this. We only take care of the trade aspect, without going beyond it.
Perhaps we should also talk of the human rights before making the decision to trade with another country. We could re-evaluate our approach and consider another foreign policy instead of insisting on signing a trade agreement and forgetting everything else. If we can make money with a country, we go ahead and trade with it.
Should we not consider something else? I give human rights as an example because there could be something other than trade. I would like to hear what my colleague has to say about this.
