Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the member for Burnaby—Douglas. He speaks passionately against the concept of free trade but speaks in favour of fair trade.
There was some talk a while ago, and Canadians might want some clarification, of the federal NDP perhaps changing its opinion on free trade and becoming more proactive in terms of free trade, actually believing that the concept of competitive and comparative advantage is good and should be embraced.
The NDP premiers of Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Manitoba were all part of the most recent team Canada trade mission to the Asia-Pacific region. Has the member for Burnaby—Douglas informed the three premiers of those provinces of his distaste for the concept of free trade? Has he brought as much scorn on them as he has brought on the government for its pursuit of free trade?
