Madam Speaker, I sit on the trade committee along with a number of colleagues. This debate has been dragged out in the trade committee for an enormous period of time. We visited Colombia. There have been over 30 hours of debate in the House on this issue.
Quite frankly, there is a side agreement in this free trade agreement on the environment. There is a side agreement on human rights. This is some of the best legislation that we have ever put forth in a free trade agreement with another nation.
My question for the member is very simple. Name a free trade agreement that provides jobs and opportunities for Canadian workers that the NDP has ever supported? This is an ideological argument. This has nothing to do with reality.
