Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the government about the democracy deficit syndrome from which it still continues to suffer.
I wonder if the Minister of Foreign Affairs could tell us how the government could be contemplating signing an agreement with the United States that will impact immigration, will impact refugees, will impact intelligence, will impact security, will impact trade. In fact, it will impact all of our relationships with the United States.
Why would the government contemplate doing that without first of all discussing it with the House of Commons right here in Canada?
