Mr. Chair, I'm concerned about those two points. If we're going to do our job for the agricultural industry, we need to know roughly what's on the table. We're not asking the government to state line by line on the agreement, but we have a responsibility as members to find out what the parameters of the agreement are so that we have that information over the Christmas break.
As I've said a number of times, we support the trade agreements. We support moving to trade agreements, but we want there to be a net benefit for Canada. We're beginning to question some of the things the minister told us, or answered in the House, or told us when he appeared before this committee a long time ago for about an hour.
I think Don's motion is the proper motion. I think it shows that we're in fact doing our job to try to find out where the government really is on this agreement that they claim will be signed by the end of December.
