Madam Chair, the hon. member spoke at length. I would like to say that I appreciate his comments, but frankly, to the House and anyone listening, I really do not appreciate his comments. He does not support trade. I do not know, and I hope none of us would ever find out, what a nuclear wasteland would look like, but I think it is something that the Canadian economy would look like if his party ever gets in charge of the reins to direct it.
There are a couple of simple terms, for those with a bit of an agricultural background, and I understand the hon. member professes to have some. Those are “gee” and “haw”, where we can turn a horse, because it has blinders on, to the left or to the right.
The member made a comment that there are pluses and minuses in every trade agreement. So I would like to hear some of the pluses in the trade agreements that we signed. I will list those agreements for him.
We have signed a trade agreement with the United States. We have signed trade agreements with Chile, with Israel, with Colombia, and with Costa Rica. We signed a trade agreement recently with Panama, and it has gone through the House now, clause by clause.
So I would like to hear some positive accomplishments from those trade agreements.
