Mr. Speaker, I would like to respond to the hon. member's comments and then I will talk with him later.
The hon. member pointed to the poverty issue and said, from what I understand, that trade liberalization has increased this gap. I absolutely differ with him on that point. Trade liberalization has actually helped to remove poverty.
The world has been trading for centuries. I come from a country that had a socialist system. I have seen the effects of socialism, of closing the borders to trade, on the poor. I totally disagree with him on that point of view.
