Okay, let me put this on the record before I end my remarks.
Two of the amendments put forth in committee by the member for Burnaby—New Westminster would have protected trade union workers in Panama by offering the right to collective bargaining as well as requiring the Minister of International Trade, as the principal representative of Canada on the joint Canada—Panama commission, to consult on a regular basis with representatives of Canadian labour and trade unions.
There is that consultation again.
The government needs to start asking people what Canadians think before it starts ramming things through as it is doing here.
