Perhaps we could move to that.
We had some of the ambassadors from these countries come to testify, and this is quite clearly not about tariffs; it's about integration of our economies. I think that was a fair characterization of their testimony.
I'm trying to figure out whether it's in Canada's interest to integrate our society with that of Peru or Chile or Colombia. I find myself wondering if this is good for our country. In what areas do those countries have superior standards? Do we want the labour standards of Colombia? Do we want the human rights standards of Peru? Do we want the environmental standards of these countries?
Without having studied, I would venture to say that in most areas those standards are lower. I don't think we're going to see those four countries bringing up their standards to Canada's.
Where is integration of Canada's economy and society with these selected countries? Let's face it, they have been selected for their politics. How does that benefit Canadians and our country?
