Mr. Speaker, I cannot believe it. My colleague in the socialist movement is absolutely right. One thing about the NDP is that it was consistent in its opposition to anything having to do with a free market economy.
The hypocrisy of the party over there standing up today and suddenly pretending that it is the defender of those opposed to the multilateral agreement on investment is an ultimate insult to the people.
These people have no knowledge of what is going on around the table. They pick up their information in bits and pieces from what they receive in the mail or what they read in this paper or that paper. They never took the time to look into the agreement to see what it really meant for Canadians.
I want to close by saying that the agreement takes nothing away from Canada. There is everything to gain for us and nothing to lose. They should get their heads out of the sand and stand in support of what the government is doing rather than acting like a jacuzzi socialist without knowing the least bit about socialism.
