Sure.
What can the government do? In once sense, I think we should look at past things and put TPP aside in the interest of time. I would suggest that the government look at doing what we can do right now without international trade agreements. One is to pass PACA, something that Perrin Beatty has requested at the agriculture committee—and I see Gerry Ritz and Dave Van Kesteren sitting here—and to pass sports betting, which would help our region as well.
In conclusion, layering TPP in its current form, on top of the existing rising cost environment in Ontario, sets us on an uncompetitive and damaging economic path—not just for Windsor-Essex, but with implications across Ontario and Canada.
