Mr. Speaker, to the Bloc member who is saying all of this is secret, I would be happy to give him the address of the website which he obviously does not know exists.
My question to my colleague from the NDP is simply this: what is her response to the following statement?
There is now widespread acceptance that, in the long run, the expansion of international trade and integration into the world economy are necessary instruments for promoting economic growth and reducing and eradicating poverty.
The quote comes from a recently released UN report. How can the member tell us that international trade is not important in addressing the problem of poverty?
