I've been in attendance since this morning and have been trying to understand how the government could have made the decision to conclude this agreement with the United States. The unions have given their testimony and do not support this agreement. I heard the comments made by Mr. Brodrick, Mr. Chevrette and Mr. Milton. According to the mayor, this agreement was negotiated by the worst negotiator and poker player he's ever seen. I don't understand how the conservative government could possibly think it has secured the best agreement in the world. Since this morning, we have heard people say that this is the worst agreement they've ever seen in their life.
How can people possibly believe that this agreement suits everyone to a tee, when everyone who has come before this Committee has said exactly the opposite? How can you assert in the media that people support this agreement, when no one here has said that they do? I really don't get it. Someone is going to have to explain to me who is really going to benefit from this agreement. If it's not benefiting anyone—either the unions or the industry—just who exactly will benefit from this agreement?
