I would like to thank you, Mr. Chair, on behalf of the extremely intelligent third of Canadians who supported the NDP.
Gentlemen, I have some concerns. In a recent Industry Canada report on small- and medium-sized exporters, it was clearly explained that a very high percentage of these businesses were compelled to move their activities outside the country. Obviously, I am very concerned about the expected impact on both sides of the ocean, and particularly concerned about inequities that could occur in Canada as a result of this delocalization, which would force us to move good jobs to Europe. There would, however, be some European delocalization in order to develop our natural resources, which could accelerate a phenomenon which currently is very significant and puts Canada at the mercy of the world situation.
Do you feel that this agreement is unbalanced? This is my concern.
