Mr. Speaker, my colleague is referring to the Canada-China FIPA, which is designed to protect the interests of Canadians who want to make investments in China.
The purpose of this agreement is to protect Canadians and their interests. That is what we are doing.
The NDP does not seem to understand what these agreements do, which is protect the interests of Canadians who are doing business in China.
New Democrats made the exact same criticisms about FTA and NAFTA, and chapter 11 of NAFTA. They were wrong. That protected the interests of Canadians doing business in the United States.
What the Canada-China FIPA agreement does is protect the interests of Canadians doing business in China. This is about protecting Canada. The hon. member should stand up for it.
