Mr. Speaker, once again, we should start by defining this role, by debating it and by voting on what Canada is proposing to do. We must have a real discussion with accurate information and transparency. We have seen in the past where a project lacking transparency, debate and discussion can lead us.
We in the NDP, unlike the Liberals, are not prepared to give the Conservatives a blank cheque on such issues as the free trade agreement with Europe or the issue being debated tonight. We want to see the details of the matter. We want to be able to discuss them and then vote.
