Mr. Speaker, first, I would like to thank the hon. member for the way in which he mesmerized his colleagues on this occasion.
He mentioned the ILO and he talked about the ILO promoting. That is the problem. It promotes, it does not enforce. We are talking about the discrepancy between a world in which only investors' rights are enforced and everybody else's rights are promoted. There is exhortation, there is promotion, there is encouragement, but there is no enforcement.
He kept assuring us that no government would ever do the kinds of things we are accusing the government of doing. Canadians have been assured before. Canadians were assured by the Conservatives about all kinds of things about the FTA. Those very people were assured themselves. There is no credibility left here.
Why should we believe the hon. member when we have such a history of governments lying to people about the effect of these agreements? Why does he believe now the things that he did not believe before?
We are the only party that opposes these agreements and we are proud of it. We think this is a paradigm for trading that is going to prove disastrous for the Canadian people and for that matter, the world.
