Mr. Speaker, whether it is labour, environment or human rights, the government is all for it as long as there is no teeth and no enforcement. Listen to what the trade minister said:
Can we deprive countries of South America of one of their assets which is cheap labour?
Cheap labour is not an asset. It is deprivation. It is exploitation. It is human misery. Such conditions should not be applauded; they should be condemned.
Will the Prime Minister agree that labour, the environment and human rights must be essential elements in any trade deal involving Canada?
