I am here on behalf of the Beyond Pesticides network. I wanted to start by thanking our grandmothers who spoke at the beginning, and thanking our young people who came. You are the conscience of this country right now, the young people and the grandmothers, so I want to honour you.
I am going to dial this back. There is a lot of conversation about this provision and that provision, and I think we have to have an underlying assumptions conversation. If anybody has had the good fortune of watching Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything.... As a thesis in that movie and in that book, she talks about the story we tell ourselves and the need to change the story. The TPP is attached to an old story, a dying story, a story that is based on falsehoods.
You Liberal MPs were elected by the people of this country to reject the kind of politics that we had from your folks across the aisle here. We are not about negotiating in secret.
