Mr. Speaker, during the debates on the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, in 2018, the Conservative member for Mégantic—L'Érable—Lotbinière said, “We will obviously work with the government to adopt the CPTPP as quickly as possible, because it is important to our industry and to farmers.” During debate on the original version of this agreement, the Conservatives voted unanimously in favour of it.
Today, we welcome the United Kingdom as our first new member. This is good news. Does the member agree that adding a G7 partner will strengthen this trade agreement?
