Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very well-researched speech. I wonder if he could comment on the following sentence:
...an FTA would provide international legitimacy to a political regime and economic model that is oligarchic, oppressive and unjust.
Those are not my words. They are from Ricardo Grinspun, an associate professor in the Department of Economics at York University, who appeared before the Standing Committee on International Trade on May 1, 2014.
