Mr. Speaker, now Canadians know the government is choosing the economy over the environment.
The legislation for the trans-Pacific partnership was tabled today, despite overwhelming evidence that this deal will be devastating to auto workers and supply management. NAFTA is in shambles and Trump has launched an attack on our auto sector, with threats of outrageous and illegal tariffs. What are the Liberals doing to help auto workers? Today they are tabling a deal that is a betrayal to auto workers, their families, and the communities that depend on them.
Why does the government insist on ratifying this terrible trade deal that will cost our economy close to 58,000 jobs?
