Mr. Speaker, I had originally intended to ask the member for Elmwood—Transcona about what would be satisfactory for moving on with the issue of the invitation to Mr. Atwal for the Canadian delegation. However, I parenthetically want to note that I wish the NDP had been consistent. I like to have allies in the fight against the investor state resolution that put foreign corporations in a superior position to domestic corporations. That is the position of the NDP. Unfortunately, when those member voted for the Canada-Korea trade agreement, they violated that position. It opens us up to Korean corporations having the ability to sue Canada if we interfere with their expectation of profits.
What could we do short of compelling a civil servant to testify? I have concerns about that and I wonder if there is something else we can do so we can move on with this.
