Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the speech made by my hon. colleague.
The motion urges the government to immediately strike an all-party special parliamentary committee. I would like my hon. colleague to comment on the fact that globalization emerged a few years back and that we had to wait until today for the heartfelt cry of the hon. member for Lac-St-Jean to reflect the awareness that all kinds of dealings and agreements are in the works.
We hear about the Free Trade Agreement for the Americas. We have NAFTA. We have the MIA. We also have organizations like the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, and the WTO. What about the people in all of this? What role do the citizens expect their parliamentarians to play? What do the people expect their parliamentarians to say or do to ensure that globalization serves the interests of all and not only of those who want to make money out of this phenomenon?
