Mr. Speaker, one of the things that recommends this trade agreement over other ones that the government has put forward is better standards for labour issues.
Does my colleague think the government could do better in terms of negotiating free trade agreements with other jurisdictions if it were negotiating from a better position of strength on its own commitment to labour legislation and free collective bargaining? I ask that question in light of the government bringing in back-to-work legislation three times so far in this Parliament.
