Mr. Speaker, that is a sham. No wonder the Prime Minister does not want to talk about the WTO.
The Prime Minister knows that the enforcement mechanisms of the WTO are much stronger. When it comes to defending Canadian product abroad, and that is very important, the government goes to the WTO. Why? Because it has teeth.
When it comes to people needing health and safety protection, and environmental protection, the government shunts them off to some subcommittee of a subcommittee of a working group because it knows that nothing will happen.
Why is Canada's position at Seattle so lacking in balance?
