As I said a little earlier, if our government had been in place at the time, we would have taken the time to explain clearly to Canadians and to parliamentarians the reasons why this agreement was being adopted and to discuss it in an open and transparent manner. The problem really is with the process, and the fact that an agreement was rushed through in an omnibus bill more than 400 pages long.
On April 14th, 2016. See this statement in context.
