Mr. Speaker, this agreement has been sitting on the Prime Minister's desk for seven months. There must be a problem.
It may be because the agreement gives Chinese state-owned companies the same rights as Canadian companies, or it may be because it gives the Chinese government the right to buy new oil leases and to take unlimited control of our natural resources without any assessments or debate.
This agreement does not benefit Canada.
Will the Conservatives still go ahead with ratifying it?
