Mr. Speaker, for months, we have been raising questions about provisions in CETA that would harm Canadians, with no reassurances from this minister. The current government has refused to address the increased cost of prescription drugs for Canadians, and ignored calls for the removal of investor-state rules. These controversial rules give foreign companies privileged access to sue our governments in exclusive courts.
Trade with Europe is too important to get wrong, and EU member states have made it clear they will not accept CETA with investor-state rules. Does the minister agree that they should be removed?
