Mr. Speaker, misleading spin does not change the fact that the minister is rushing a risky deal with China. Unlike Conservatives, New Democrats believe in consultation and transparency. This agreement could cost taxpayers billions of dollars, and it will last for at least 31 years. Done right, it is a huge opportunity. Done wrong, it will have serious consequences.
This deal was negotiated behind closed doors for 18 years. Now will the minister bring it forward for debate, study and input from Canadians?
