Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank the minister for coming to testify today.
She may not be surprised by my question, but it is one that is on everyone's lips and for very good reason. Usually, when we ask questions in committee concerning a topic we must vote on or when we receive a bill or are dealing with an important issue, we can look at it before we position ourselves.
In this case, we must take a position based on words, thoughts and intentions, but there is nothing concrete. We are talking about an important economic agreement between Canada and the United Kingdom. Yet, we have no text for it.
Could the minister tell me why we have no text and when we will have one?
