Mr. Speaker, I would ask my colleague to listen to me even more carefully.
With respect to transparency, texts are not for consultation only; they are for learning. I have taken part in negotiations for 15 years. Consultation has a specific purpose: to ask people what they want, but the negotiation process is to know what people want and eventually to come to some agreement.
Yet we know there are issues such as chapter 11 that involve corporations on one side and countries on the other side. We must know what is happening there to be able to bring some pressure to bear.
My specific answer to your question is that this little website that contains your partial positions, if you understood the first part of my speech, is not enough; it is not enough for a democratic exercise.
I am happy that the Minister for International Trade has understood this by committing to ask the other countries if they are willing to make the documents public. If not, he will consider doing the same as the United States and making them available at least to parliamentarians.
I repeat, for a democratic exercise, we must not only say what we wish for, we must know what the stakes are.
