Mr. Speaker, globalization undoubtedly is a fear. To some it represents fear of the unknown. The member is quite right when he says that we have examples of where globalization efforts can lead and have led for adverse consequences for a broad spectrum of humankind.
One of the challenges of the leaders at the summit of the Americas is to not be in denial of the realities that we have seen. However, the member asked if this would help us. It is the position of the Government of Canada, and from the last two summits, that the leaders collectively have agreed that these summits and the FTAA will provide us in part, along with other initiatives, the tools we need to deal with some of the conditions that the member just mentioned.
