I want to thank everyone who came here today to speak, and I want to echo your anger, your fear, and your frustration. I think it's telling that in the two hours the corporations had to speak, most of them spoke positively about this, whereas every single person from the community who has spoken about this has had nothing but concerns.
In reading through the TPP, and specifically speaking to the dispute settlement mechanism, I find it so dangerous, so undemocratic, and so harmful to Canadians. It is going to harm our efforts to better our environmental policy and our strong local economic growth, and it will harm third world countries, as well.
The TPP was a driving force against Harper in the last election, and I want to remind you of that, because if you ratify it, that same driving force that pushed Harper out of office will likely cost you your jobs.
Thank you.
