Mr. Speaker, as I noted in my speech, I no longer sit on the trade committee. I did before, prior to the last election.
One of the things we often talk about when it comes to trade deals, which the hon. member talked about, is protection. Protections for industry in trade deals are often damaging to the consumer. What we protect with one hand, we take away from other Canadians with the other. I am not sure if that is what the amendments the hon. member is referring to would have done, but it is something we should be cautious about.
We often talk about protecting industries, but what we often mean is that we are putting hidden taxes on consumers.
