Mr. Speaker, I have a petition to present concerning the multilateral agreement on investment. As we know, talks on the agreement collapsed in Paris this fall.
Nevertheless, these petitioners, who were opposed to the MAI, call upon parliament to recognize the fact that Canadians reject the MAI approach to globalization and they instruct the government to seek an entirely different kind of agreement by which the world might achieve a rules based global economy which protects workers, the environment and the ability of governments to act in the public interest.
