Mr. Speaker, New Democrats support negotiations with Europe, but Conservative incompetence is stunning.
The first rule of negotiating is to never convey that one is desperate for a deal, and yet that is exactly what the Prime Minister is conveying to the EU. Panicking to get a deal at any cost, the Conservatives are now offering concessions to reduce the reviews of foreign takeovers, increase the sell-off of public utilities and decrease Canadian control of telecommunications.
Which sectors of the Canadian economy will pay the price for Conservative desperation?
