I think the problem is beyond the EFTA. Our country lacks a comprehensive industrial strategy. The EFTA is just another example of a piecemeal approach to trade deals. There is no coherent fair trade vision or policy. There is no industrial strategy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1268083\" data-originallang=\"en\">What are the member's thoughts about the bigger issue of Canada's lack of an industrial policy as it relates to the EFTA?</p>",

C'est un probl\u00e8me qui va au-del\u00e0 de l'accord avec l'AELA. Notre pays n'a pas de strat\u00e9gie industrielle globale. L'accord avec l 'AELA n'est qu'un exemple de plus de l'approche fragment\u00e9e en mati\u00e8re d'ententes commerciales. Le Canada n'a aucune vision ni aucune politique coh\u00e9rentes \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard du commerce \u00e9quitable. Le Canada n'a pas de strat\u00e9gie industrielle. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1268083\" data-originallang=\"en\">Que pense le d\u00e9put\u00e9, dans le contexte du d\u00e9bat autour de l'accord avec l'AELA, de ce v\u00e9ritable probl\u00e8me qu'est l'absence de politique industrielle au Canada? </p>"
