Of course, the government is going to accuse us of opposing every free trade agreement, of being anti-trade and of being evil communists. Quite the opposite, actually. On this side of the House, we are keenly aware

Canada-Honduras Economic Growth and Prosperity Act   that come from across the floor, we are not anti-trade over here. That would be to take an ideological position and eschew all practical considerations and objectives. That is not what we are about.

Stories like that from our industry prove why this agreement needs to be passed and as soon as possible. I repeat: as soon as we can. What the anti-trade New

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, the NDP continues to display its true colours when it comes to free trade. Canadians know that the NDP is anti-trade. Its members have never stood in the House and voted for any FTA. Now the NDP is trying to delay our ambitious trade agenda by attempting to delete

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Minister of International Trade appeared at committee to provide an update on Canada's global markets action plan. The NDP critic was there. The NDP never misses an opportunity to put its anti-trade diatribe front and centre. The Liberal critic

On the other hand, the NDP's anti-trade record is very clear. Going all the way back to the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement in 1988, New Democrats have opposed every single free trade

While the member certainly can promote an isolationist-type of environment, where we just stay at home, where we are anti-trade and do not participate in global markets, that is not the government's

I do not know if the member was in the room

Canada-Honduras Economic Growth and Prosperity Act   opposed virtually every trade agreement Canada has ever signed. For them to now get up in the House and suggest that they want a robust debate on trade belies their underlying anti-trade ideology.
