Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
In 1993 the government promised to renegotiate the NAFTA to ensure that the deal worked for the benefit of Canadians. The latest development is that Canada's freshwater is up for sale and Ontario says it is legal to permit private sale and export of Canadian water to overseas markets.
Under the NAFTA there is very little the government can do to protect our natural water resources.
With the expressed concern on this issue, what will the minister do to protect Canada from bulk exports of our water?
