Madam Speaker, I hope my colleague's speech will encourage the ratification of the CPTPP.
I want to ask him a question about the benefits to the middle class and those working hard to join it. I will add to that by talking about what the CETA agreement did for businesses in my riding. Ocean Choice International is a fish processing company that exports almost 100 million pounds of fish to 35 different countries. It told me that the CETA agreement made a big difference to it in accessing those markets and opening doors. That business creates hundreds of middle-class jobs.
Could the member comment on what this agreement will do in creating middle-class jobs and those working hard to join it?
