We have been saying all along that we need to modernize the trade template and that we need a fair trade template. That is what the NDP has been promoting.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3277769\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We need much more effective negotiations. Conservatives are awful negotiators, the worst negotiators ever, and even worse than the Liberals, which is saying a lot. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3277770\" data-originallang=\"en\">Most importantly, in terms of stimulating our export sales, particularly value-added exports, I have talked to Canadian trade commissioners across the world who do not even have the money to buy a cup of coffee for a potential client of Canadian goods and services. That is how this so-called \u201cpro-trade\u201d government has starved the resources that allow for that actual export breakthrough on value-added products.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3277771\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Conservatives are awful at trade. Case closed. That is our conclusion.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3277767\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce sera difficile de rester bref, monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3277768\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 pose une excellente question. Nous soutenons depuis le d\u00e9but qu'il faut moderniser notre mod\u00e8le d'accord commercial et le rendre \u00e9quitable. C'est ce que r\u00e9clame le NPD.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3277769\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les n\u00e9gociations doivent \u00eatre beaucoup plus rentables. Les conservateurs sont nuls en n\u00e9gociation. Il n'y a jamais eu de pires n\u00e9gociateurs. M\u00eame les lib\u00e9raux s'en sortaient mieux, ce qui n'est pas peu dire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3277770\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est de stimuler nos ventes \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger, surtout celles \u00e0 valeur ajout\u00e9e, j'ai discut\u00e9 avec des d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9s commerciaux canadiens dans le monde entier, et ils n'ont m\u00eame pas les moyens de payer un caf\u00e9 \u00e0 un acheteur potentiel de biens ou de services canadiens. C'est dire combien ce gouvernement soi-disant \u00ab favorable aux \u00e9changes commerciaux \u00bb les a priv\u00e9s des ressources qui permettent de r\u00e9aliser de v\u00e9ritables perc\u00e9es par rapport \u00e0 l'exportation de produits \u00e0 valeur ajout\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3277771\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs sont nuls en commerce, point \u00e0 la ligne. Voil\u00e0 la conclusion \u00e0 laquelle nous sommes arriv\u00e9s.</p>"
