Mr. Speaker, I thank and congratulate my colleague and friend for his speech. He is truly an expert on matters of international trade. He has depth and a strong, confident philosophy.
A few hours ago, the Liberals and a majority of the Conservatives voted against a Bloc Québécois bill on the prior review of treaties by Parliament.
He touched on this in his speech, but I would like to ask him the following. If such a law had been passed by the House, what would it have allowed us, as parliamentarians or legislators, to do with regard to the treaty under consideration?
