Mr. Speaker, in connection with assistance to businesses, this must indeed be approached correctly and rationally by the Government of Canada, to develop the mechanisms that are the least likely to be challenged.
I do, however, believe that it is up to this parliament and the Canadian government to say that we want a return to free trade. We are prepared to examine some transitional phases if need be, but we will not under any circumstances accept an agreement that obliges us to go through the same kind of debate in four, five or six years.
This is why we are calling for unanimity on this motion. I feel it is important to repeat that a very clear message must be sent.
