Mr. Speaker, last week the government tabled another deal with China that it refuses to debate.
Already experts are noting that the Canada-China FIPA disproportionately benefits Chinese investors and restricts economic opportunity for Canadian business.
It is a basic question of competence to ensure that these agreements provide for reciprocal benefits for Canadians.
Can the minister explain why he failed to secure equal access for Canadian investors, or were interests sacrificed in order to just get a deal?
