Mr. Speaker, I have a brief comment. While I listened to the hon. member for Brandon—Souris I had a horrible flashback to the kind of comprehensive intellectual dishonesty that we saw during the time of the free trade debate in the House when the Progressive Conservative Party was in power.
Why can we not relate in the House to what people actually say? There is enough to debate and enough to disagree about in terms of what we actually say. We say that we should get rid of the chapter 11 investor state dispute mechanism. That is something to debate. The member says he is for it and we are against it. We could debate it.
Did I ever say that NDP wants Canada to sever all its relations with its trading partners? I talked about a rules based trading regime. I talked about what rules we did not like, what rules we liked, and what rules we would like to see in place. Did I ever say that it was NDP position to sever our relationships with all our trade partners? This is the kind of garbage that is not worthy of this place. Let us at least debate what each other said, instead of just making up stuff.
