Mr. Haynal, you talked about innovation, which is very important insofar as it enables technological progress and different ways of manufacturing products. Mr. Laliberté and Mr. MacPherson, on the other hand, talked about rules concerning employment; working conditions, social conditions, the environment. Those are important issues.
We are talking about innovation, social or environmental problems, and the fact remains that the situation is not necessarily fair for everyone. Natural resources will be accessible—and there are world markets—to everyone at some point or other, as are human resources and the ability to innovate.
In the final analysis, what we are talking about today is the rather unbridled race of major corporations who want to obtain the biggest market share, the most wealth on a global scale. When it comes to the social aspect, wages and the environment, that will be achieved eventually. My viewpoint may be a bit philosophical, but I think that the current race seeks to benefit the most from various deficiencies.
There is no doubt that in Canada, there could be consultation, analyses and prioritization. Indeed, the sectors are different. Some will end up winners but others will lose out. In this committee, how could we manage to determine whether the treaty will be generally profitable for Canada and Quebec? Do you have any recommendations in that regard?
