Madam Chair, I was very pleased to listen to the terrific speech from the member on this take note debate regarding the Canada-EU free trade deal.
We are certainly aware of the uncertainties in Europe at this time. We have stresses in Spain, Greece and Ireland. Protectionism potentially is on the rise and could continue.
The question I have for the member is this. Is he confident that, at the end of the day, the final ratification and implementation of this agreement is even possible with all this upheaval in Europe?
