Madam Speaker, I am happy to agree with my colleague from Nanaimo—Ladysmith. I note for him that Canada will continue to pursue an inclusive approach to trade with new partners, and that this approach will be informed by engagement with Canadian stakeholders and by conducting various analyses, such as gender-based analyses, environmental analyses and consultation with first nations.
I also note for my colleague that closer bilateral ties with countries, including economic ties, are a very effective way of promoting Canadian values and interests, such as human rights, labour standards and environmental protections.
