Mr. Speaker, as I have done repeatedly over many months in parliament, I have petitions to present that have to do with the multilateral agreement on investment.
The talks recently collapsed in Paris. Nevertheless the petitioners call on the government not to seek another venue for the MAI negotiations but rather to reject the current framework of MAI negotiations and to seek an entirely different agreement by which the world might achieve a rules based global trading regime which protects workers, the environment and the ability of governments to act in the public interest.
