To this point I don't think we've been successful in appeasing the United States' security concerns. These are ongoing issues, as we've heard, in the trucking industry and in the border. The whole security question is one that is being integrated with the economic question. We have to come up with a fundamentally different way.... We have to interject a new way of thinking about these relationships that does not build, ever increasingly, upon a climate of fear and distrust.
I think there are issues around human rights that need to be discussed in relation to this question of security. I'd like to know what mechanism there is for our having this discussion about human rights and the SPP. The more open and transparent and inclusive this discussion can be, the more likely it is we're going to find solutions to it.
There are these meetings we keep hearing about, this North American 2025 meeting or the famous/infamous Banff meeting. We hear from one of the press that the person who was in charge of keeping the press and public away from the meeting said no, these meetings are not secret, they're private. We want to know why we can't have the information about what MPs presented at these meetings or what MPs said at these meetings.
