Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for the question.
What we have actually seen is the opposite scenario. Unfortunately, every time we sign free trade agreements with new countries, many of our businesses close up shop. That is what happened in the forestry sector, for example. Even the pharmaceutical sector is moving to a country where employees are paid less, their rights are not respected and where production will be less expensive. Thus, this will result in some of our businesses closing their doors.
This also affects our GDP and Canadians' quality of life. We are losing jobs, not gaining them, in those situations.
