Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Certainly, in conversations with people around the table, as the Conservatives, we can't support sending this letter to the Senate, and I'll give two reasons why.
I'll stick with what my initial concern was, which is that this bill was not studied at this committee.
One paragraph in this letter, in particular, which I understand my colleague Mr. Perron does not want to remove, is the game-breaker for us. It says that, under the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union and the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement, market access for Canadian supply-managed.... That paragraph basically says that it has undermined supply management, but supply management was part of the negotiations of all those trade agreements, and I think for us to say that free trade is a bad decision for Canada sends a very bad message.
If that paragraph stays in, I would ask that this go to a vote on whether we're going to send this or not.
