Mr. Speaker, my colleague and I studied this agreement together at the Standing Committee on International Trade. I was disappointed that he voted against almost all of my amendment proposals, which were nothing more than requests for transparency, for reports on certain elements, on the environment, on human rights and on lawsuits by multinationals against governments. All I was doing was demanding transparency and accountability.
That said, I was even more disappointed that he voted against my amendment to ensure that the agreement would not come into force before an agreement on sanitary and phytosanitary measures was reached. It seems to me that, during negotiations, particularly when we are doing the United Kingdom a favour by helping it join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, we could have requested that meat be allowed to enter freely there.
