Madam Chair, NDP members always oppose free trade, yet that party claims it wants to help workers.
Canada's population is 32 million. One factory with 500 workers would meet the demands of this agreement. A free trade agreement helped RIM sell its goods all over the world. This free trade agreement will open up markets. Factories will be built in the country and workers will be employed to work in those factories. The most important thing is that more people will be working and there will be more factories.
The NDP says that it supports workers. How will those members support workers when factories are shut down because there is no market? Free trade agreements provide markets so people can work in the country.
Is that not right?
