Mr. Speaker, Canadians want a good trade deal with Europe, but all we have from the government is delay, secrecy, and confusion.
Just this morning in committee, the Minister of International Trade told us that “All the substantive issues have been resolved” and we are now “converting it into legal text”. However, key players are saying that important details, including beef, investment, and rules of origin, are still being negotiated.
So what is it? Are the negotiations complete, as the minister told us at committee, or are they not?
