Madam Speaker, I heard my colleague's speech, as well as his legitimate concerns about the farmers and dairy producers in his riding.
Earlier, I asked his colleague why the Conservatives decided to vote in favour of the agreement even though they find it flawed. She replied that it was better to have a bad agreement than no agreement at all. That said, if we do not ratify CUSMA, NAFTA would remain in effect.
Does my colleague think it is worth voting in favour of this agreement? Would it not be better to ask the negotiators to go back and do their job?
If we negotiated properly, it would no longer be necessary to make concessions on the backs of farmers and aluminum workers.
