Mr. Speaker, I am wondering to what degree the NDP will have credibility on the issue of free trade agreements. On the one hand, when we look at 2015, it will be saying that it supports fair trade but that it does not support free trade agreements, and yet hundreds of thousands of Canadians have benefited immensely. I cited the potato industry in Manitoba.
Canada is an exporting nation and we are very dependent on our ability to trade worldwide. That is what generates jobs and wealth.
After listening to members of the NDP, there is a difference between the NDP and the Liberals. We see the value of freer trade agreements.
Contrary to what the member's colleagues would have said on the front benches, if, for example, the amendments the NDP proposed in committee had passed, would the NDP members then have supported the bill in the House?
