Mr. Speaker, I do not think we understand each other properly here. I am not talking about a briefing session. We want to know the contents of the basic text on which they will be negotiating.
We remember how Canada nearly got us into signing an agreement like the multilateral agreement on investment, which everyone now considers a disaster.
Will the government make a commitment that no agreement will be ratified as part of the free trade zone of the Americas negotiations without a debate and vote in this House?
