Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague two questions.
There was a free trade agreement, and we studied it in committee. The NDP proposed some amendments, including to parallel agreements on the environment and on workers' rights.
My first question: Did the Conservatives act reasonably when they rejected every word of every amendment the NDP proposed in committee?
And my second question: Is that approach consistent with a desire to get the best possible outcome for Canadians? The Conservatives seem totally unable to listen to the official opposition and to negotiate with it.
