Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his good words and support for the agreement.
When we look back on the trade agreements that were signed by the Conservative government, a number of them included investor-state provisions, which basically tied the hands of municipalities to not be able to support their businesses locally the way they would like to.
I would be interested to hear the member's perspective. Does he think this agreement is a good model for future free trade agreements for Canada?
