Mr. Speaker, I must say to my hon. colleague that if he had listened to the speeches of the Bloc members, he would know that they covered what he is talking about, except that we do not say no. In fact, a no would not translate into more power relationships in free trade. We say yes.
However, I would tell him to lobby with us so that the negotiations do not start from chapter 11 as it is, which would lead to a double standard for investments and social rights.
The issue is extremely important, but I want to also tell him that the southern countries do want access to our markets. We must give them that access, while protecting our rights, our environment and our culture.
