Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons for her speech.
I would like to remind the House that in December 2016, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 2334, which condemns:
...all measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, including, inter alia, the construction and expansion of settlements, transfer of Israeli settlers, confiscation of land, demolition of homes and displacement of Palestinian civilians, in violation of international humanitarian law and relevant resolutions...
This is a resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council, so Canada obviously needs to abide by it.
With regard to the free trade agreement, why did the Liberal government reject the NDP amendment about labelling products originating from illegal Israeli settlements in order to distinguish between companies on the territory of the State of Israel and companies on the Palestinian territory that has been illegally occupied since 1967?
