Madam Speaker, this is an interesting debate today. We are talking about international trade treaties.
There is one treaty that has already been ratified by most of the officials on both sides, the one with Taiwan. About six weeks ago, we heard the Taiwanese ambassador wonder why the Prime Minister has chosen not to sign this agreement, which has had the green light since last April. In Davos, the Prime Minister said that we need to forge alliances with stable and reliable allies, and I think that Taiwan is such an ally.
Could my colleague tell me what the Prime Minister is thinking by not signing this agreement, when all that is missing is his signature?
