        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4426683\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I am thankful for the opportunity to build on the comments of my colleague from Battlefords\u2014Lloydminster. In his speech, he mentioned some of our remarkable trade negotiators. He mentioned Kirsten Hillman, who spearheaded our TPP negotiations, and Steve Verheul, who spearheaded our negotiations with the European Union. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426684\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are others and I do not want to leave out. For example, Marvin Hildebrand negotiated our trade agreement with the Ukraine and our updated agreement with Israel. Ian Burney did that monumental trade agreement with South Korea and J.B. Leblanc was responsible for negotiating a number of trade deals within Central America and South America. All of these trade deals are driving prosperity and job creation within Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426685\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us get back to Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8173019\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-13/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act, the Hazardous Products Act, the Radiation Emitting Devices Act, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Pest Control Products Act and the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act and to make related amendments to another Act\">C-13</a>. Those who are viewing across Canada may not understand what we are talking about when we talk about TFA, trade facilitation agreements, when we talk about the Bali package. We need to go back 30 years when there was a large number of like-minded countries around the world that realized there were no common sets of rules around the world to govern trade. As countries traded with each other, tariffs could be increased or reduced, protectionist measures could be enacted day upon day, and it made trade very unpredictable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426686\" data-originallang=\"en\">Back in 1986, negotiations started under what was called the Uruguay round and then in 1994-95, an agreement was finally reached, in which tariffs were eliminated or, in many cases, reduced. It also addressed some of the behind the borders challenges to trade. That was called the Uruguay round. That culminated into the creation of the World Trade Organization. Today, I believe there are 162 or 163 members in the World Trade Organization. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426687\" data-originallang=\"en\">It was under this WTO that a second round of trade negotiations started back in 2001. Think about it. That was 15 years ago. Very little progress had been made over those years and I will get to the reasons for that in a moment. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426688\" data-originallang=\"en\">Countries at least were able to get together and put together a small package under the Doha round, which we now call the Bali package. This was an outcome that included trade facilitation, which, in other words, improved customs processes and the ability to export and import products more efficiently. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426689\" data-originallang=\"en\">There was a second piece to that, which involved food security for developing countries, things such as the public stockholding of food, and also addressed export competition. Certainly, there was financial support agreed to for the least developed countries, to help them actually take advantage of trade opportunities around the world. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426690\" data-originallang=\"en\">During the Bali package negotiations, I was in Bali, Indonesia and at that time there were 157 countries. It was hard fought because there were so many different competing interests trying to come to a consensus. We finally came to a consensus on these three smaller packages, which we bound up in a ribbon called the Bali package. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426691\" data-originallang=\"en\">We took it home and then, suddenly, we heard that India had a change of government. Prime Minister Modi was now in charge. He said he did not like the agreement and wanted to renegotiate it. That is an indicator of how difficult it is today to reach consensus within the World Trade Organization.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426692\" data-originallang=\"en\">Fortunately, negotiations among India, the U.S., and some other partners were finally able to resolve that impasse and today, we are here in the chamber implementing one part of the Bali package, which is the trade facilitation agreement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426693\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want to be very clear that we in the Conservative Party strongly support this legislation. We strongly support trade facilitation because it would allow us not only to improve our own trade opportunities around the world but also give a hand up to other countries, in most cases the poorest countries in the world, to start to think about trade as a way of improving their own prosperity and raising up more people into the middle class.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426694\" data-originallang=\"en\">The trade facilitation agreement is actually the first multilateral trade agreement to be concluded since the WTO was established over 20 years ago. It would likely eliminate up to 14% of the trade barriers and the costs related to those trade barriers around the world. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426695\" data-originallang=\"en\">The biggest beneficiaries of this trade facilitation agreement are actually the poorest countries in the world. Of course, they cannot do that without receiving support from the developed countries, countries like Canada. We have agreed to support them. We are streamlining the flow of trade across borders.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426696\" data-originallang=\"en\">The agreement sets forth a series of measures for expeditiously moving goods across borders based on best practices from around the world. Most of those best practices come from the developed nations, like Canada. It will also simplify customs procedures, reduce red tape, expedite the release and clearance of goods, reduce costs associated with border processing, and make international trade more predictable. As I mentioned, it will also establish a program to financially assist the poorest of the WTO members to actually take advantage of trade. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426697\" data-originallang=\"en\">The reality is that the WTO has struggled to make meaningful progress and eliminate additional tariff and non-tariff barriers. The Doha round was started 15 years ago, and we have the Bali package, which is actually relatively small compared to the aspirations of the Doha round.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426698\" data-originallang=\"en\">Many people have asked me what has made the WTO somewhat sclerotic, in other words comatose, in achieving the kinds of trade goals and trade ambitions that we as Canadians have for the world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426699\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is all about the emerging economies. Countries like India, which I already mentioned, Brazil, China, Russia, and South Africa, the BRICS countries that are flexing their muscles, realizing they have some economic clout within the global marketplace, and are exercising that clout, often preventing consensus from occurring at the WTO.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426700\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is why it is so difficult to get this Doha round completed, to make meaningful progress in eliminating tariff and non-tariff barriers around the world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426701\" data-originallang=\"en\">What has Canada done? In the absence of a robust trade agenda at the WTO, we are doing bilateral agreements, trade agreements with countries like South Korea and Ukraine. We have negotiated trade agreements with countries like Jordan. Of course, the largest agreement of its kind is our free trade agreement with the 28 countries of the European Union.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426702\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is an economy of some 500 million consumers with whom Canada will now have preferred access. The same thing is true for the trans-Pacific partnership. I am quite disappointed that the Liberal government does not seem to understand the importance of being a leader, showing leadership in moving forward with ratifying this very important agreement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426703\" data-originallang=\"en\">This agreement, the TPP, actually involves 12 countries that want to raise the ambition for trade, have high level rules for trade within the Asia-Pacific region. We are talking about partners like Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, but also other partners that are less developed, like Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Peru, and Chile, all countries that want to work together to eliminate trade barriers, to drive prosperity in our own countries.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426704\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our previous Conservative government really worked hard to embark upon the most ambitious trade agenda Canada had ever seen. Over a 10-year period, we were able to negotiate free trade agreements with 46 different countries, bringing to 51 the total number of countries with which Canada has trade agreements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426705\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am issuing a challenge to the Liberal government that has yet to show a sustained interest in trade. In the previous 13 years, under the Chr\u00e9tien and Martin governments, very little was accomplished, just three small trade agreements. It left Canada far behind in the global marketplace, in the global trading world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426706\" data-originallang=\"en\">We need to be ahead of the curve, otherwise we lose out. Our Canadian businesses lose out because they do not have preferred market access that other countries have.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426707\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is my message to the Liberal government. Take trade seriously, as perhaps the most significant driver of prosperity our country has available. It is a key tool. Then get us to the next level, improving standards of living within Canada, providing consumers with the kind of value that they look for when they are buying goods, providing our businesses the kind of preferred access they need to expand their opportunities around the world.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426708\" data-originallang=\"en\">Again, we strongly support this trade facilitation agreement and encourage everyone in this House to vote in favour of it.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4426683\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je vous remercie de me permettre de rench\u00e9rir sur les commentaires de mon coll\u00e8gue de Battlefords\u2014Lloydminster. Dans son intervention, il a cit\u00e9 le nom de plusieurs de nos remarquables n\u00e9gociateurs commerciaux, notamment Kirsten Hillman, qui a pilot\u00e9 nos n\u00e9gociations sur le Partenariat transpacifique et Steve Verheul, qui a dirig\u00e9 nos n\u00e9gociations avec l\u2019Union europ\u00e9enne. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426684\" data-originallang=\"en\"> D\u2019autres noms m\u00e9ritent d\u2019\u00eatre cit\u00e9s que je ne voudrais pas omettre, comme celui de Marvin Hildebrand, qui a n\u00e9goci\u00e9 notre accord commercial avec l\u2019Ukraine et notre accord modernis\u00e9 avec Isra\u00ebl, ou Ian Burney, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 responsable du monumental accord commercial avec la Cor\u00e9e du Sud, ou J.B. Leblanc, qui a g\u00e9r\u00e9 la n\u00e9gociation de plusieurs accords commerciaux en Am\u00e9rique centrale et en Am\u00e9rique du Sud. Tous ces accords commerciaux sont des moteurs pour la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 et la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019emplois au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426685\" data-originallang=\"en\">Revenons au projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"8173019\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-13/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act, the Hazardous Products Act, the Radiation Emitting Devices Act, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Pest Control Products Act and the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act and to make related amendments to another Act\">C-13</a>. Les personnes qui nous \u00e9coutent au Canada ne comprennent peut-\u00eatre pas pourquoi nous parlons d\u2019un Accord sur la facilitation des \u00e9changes, lorsque nous parlons du paquet de Bali. Il faut revenir 30 ans en arri\u00e8re, lorsqu\u2019un grand nombre de pays aux vues similaires partout dans le monde a pris conscience qu\u2019il n\u2019y avait pas d'ensemble de r\u00e8gles communes \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle internationale pour r\u00e9gir le commerce. Certes, les pays commer\u00e7aient entre eux, mais les tarifs pouvaient augmenter ou diminuer et des mesures protectionnistes pouvaient \u00eatre promulgu\u00e9es du jour au lendemain, ce qui rendait le commerce tr\u00e8s impr\u00e9visible. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426686\" data-originallang=\"en\">En 1986, des n\u00e9gociations ont \u00e9t\u00e9 amorc\u00e9es dans le cadre de ce qu\u2019on a appel\u00e9 le cycle d\u2019Uruguay et en 1994-1995, un accord a \u00e9t\u00e9 finalement conclu, selon lequel les tarifs \u00e9taient \u00e9limin\u00e9s, ou dans bien des cas, r\u00e9duits. L\u2019accord couvrait \u00e9galement certains des obstacles au commerce derri\u00e8re les fronti\u00e8res. Le processus du cycle d\u2019Uruguay a culmin\u00e9 avec la cr\u00e9ation de l\u2019Organisation mondiale du commerce qui, je crois, compte aujourd\u2019hui 162 ou 163 membres. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426687\" data-originallang=\"en\"> C\u2019est sous l\u2019OMC qu\u2019un second cycle de n\u00e9gociations commerciales a repris en 2001. Pensez-y: c\u2019\u00e9tait il y a 15 ans. Depuis lors, tr\u00e8s peu de progr\u00e8s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 accomplis, pour des raisons que je me pr\u00e9pare \u00e0 vous exposer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426688\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les pays ont pu finalement se rassembler et pr\u00e9parer une petite s\u00e9rie de mesures dans le cadre du cycle de Doha, que nous appelons maintenant le paquet de Bali. C\u2019\u00e9tait un r\u00e9sultat qui pr\u00e9voyait la facilitation du commerce. Autrement dit, une am\u00e9lioration des processus aux douanes et la capacit\u00e9 d\u2019exporter et d\u2019importer des produits de mani\u00e8re plus efficiente.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426689\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il y avait un deuxi\u00e8me volet concernant la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire des pays en d\u00e9veloppement, des mesures comme la d\u00e9tention de stocks publics \u00e0 des fins de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire. La concurrence \u00e0 l\u2019exportation y \u00e9tait \u00e9galement abord\u00e9e. Bien s\u00fbr, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 convenu d\u2019accorder un soutien financier aux pays les moins d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s pour les aider \u00e0 profiter r\u00e9ellement des d\u00e9bouch\u00e9s commerciaux dans le monde entier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426690\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Pendant la n\u00e9gociation du paquet de Bali, je me trouvais sur place, en Indon\u00e9sie, et \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, il y avait 157 pays \u00e0 la table. Les n\u00e9gociations \u00e9taient \u00e2pres en raison des nombreux int\u00e9r\u00eats concurrents qui essayaient de parvenir \u00e0 un consensus. Nous avons fini par nous entendre sur ces trois plus petits paquets r\u00e9unis dans ce que nous appelons le paquet de Bali. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426691\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous sommes rentr\u00e9s chez nous avec et, tout \u00e0 coup, nous avons entendu dire que l\u2019Inde avait chang\u00e9 de gouvernement et que le nouveau premier ministre, M. Modi, n\u2019aimait pas l\u2019accord et qu\u2019il voulait le ren\u00e9gocier. Cela donne une id\u00e9e de combien il est difficile aujourd\u2019hui de parvenir \u00e0 un consensus au sein de l\u2019Organisation mondiale du commerce. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426692\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Heureusement, les n\u00e9gociations entre l\u2019Inde, les \u00c9tats-Unis et quelques autres partenaires ont finalement permis de sortir de cette impasse et aujourd\u2019hui, la Chambre met en \u0153uvre une partie du paquet de Bali, \u00e0 savoir l\u2019Accord sur la facilitation des \u00e9changes. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426693\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je tiens \u00e0 dire clairement que le Parti conservateur est tr\u00e8s favorable \u00e0 ce projet de loi. Nous appuyons fermement la facilitation du commerce, car elle nous permettra non seulement d\u2019avoir de meilleurs d\u00e9bouch\u00e9s commerciaux dans le monde, mais aussi d\u2019aider d\u2019autres pays, dans la plupart des cas les plus pauvres de la plan\u00e8te, \u00e0 commencer \u00e0 penser au commerce comme moyen de renforcer leur propre prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 et de hisser plus de gens dans la classe moyenne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426694\" data-originallang=\"en\">L\u2019Accord sur la facilitation des \u00e9changes est, en fait, le premier accord commercial multilat\u00e9ral conclu depuis la cr\u00e9ation de l\u2019OMC, il y a plus de 20 ans. Il \u00e9liminera probablement 14 % des obstacles au commerce et les co\u00fbts li\u00e9s \u00e0 ces obstacles dans le monde. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426695\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les principaux b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaires de cet accord sont en fait les pays les plus pauvres du monde. \u00c9videmment, ils ne peuvent pas en profiter sans l\u2019aide de pays d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s, de pays comme le Canada. Nous avons accept\u00e9 de les aider. Nous simplifions les \u00e9changes commerciaux internationaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426696\" data-originallang=\"en\">L\u2019Accord pr\u00e9voit une s\u00e9rie de mesures pour favoriser la circulation internationale des marchandises en se fondant sur les pratiques exemplaires relev\u00e9es dans le monde entier. La plupart viennent des pays d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s, comme le Canada. L\u2019Accord simplifiera aussi les formalit\u00e9s douani\u00e8res et administratives, acc\u00e9l\u00e9rera le d\u00e9douanement des marchandises, r\u00e9duira les frais associ\u00e9s au traitement \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re et rendra le commerce international plus pr\u00e9visible. Comme je le disais, il \u00e9tablira \u00e9galement un programme pour aider financi\u00e8rement les membres les plus pauvres de l\u2019OMC \u00e0 tirer parti de possibilit\u00e9s commerciales. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426697\" data-originallang=\"en\"> \u00c0 vrai dire, l\u2019OMC a du mal \u00e0 v\u00e9ritablement progresser dans l\u2019\u00e9limination d\u2019autres obstacles tarifaires et non tarifaires. Le cycle de Doha a commenc\u00e9 il y a 15 ans et nous avons le paquet de Bali, qui est assez petit en comparaison des aspirations de ce cycle. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426698\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Beaucoup de gens me demandent ce qui scl\u00e9rose l\u2019OMC, autrement dit ce qui plonge l\u2019Organisation dans une sorte de coma qui l\u2019emp\u00eache de r\u00e9aliser les objectifs et les ambitions que nous, Canadiens, avons pour le monde en mati\u00e8re de commerce. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426699\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il s\u2019agit des \u00e9conomies \u00e9mergentes. Des pays comme l\u2019Inde, dont j\u2019ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 parl\u00e9, le Br\u00e9sil, la Chine, la Russie et l\u2019Afrique du Sud \u2014 les pays BRICS \u2014, qui, prenant conscience qu\u2019ils ont une certaine influence \u00e9conomique sur le march\u00e9 mondial, font \u00e9talage de leur force et se servent de cette influence, emp\u00eachant souvent le consensus au sein de l\u2019OMC.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426700\" data-originallang=\"en\">C\u2019est pourquoi il est si difficile de faire aboutir le cycle de Doha et d\u2019accomplir des progr\u00e8s tangibles dans l\u2019\u00e9limination des obstacles tarifaires et non tarifaires dans le monde. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426701\" data-originallang=\"en\">Qu\u2019a fait le Canada? En l\u2019absence d\u2019un solide programme commercial \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle de l\u2019OMC, nous concluons des accords bilat\u00e9raux, des accords commerciaux avec des pays comme la Cor\u00e9e du Sud et l\u2019Ukraine. Nous avons n\u00e9goci\u00e9 de tels accords avec des pays comme la Jordanie. Bien \u00e9videmment, le plus gros accord de ce type, c'est l'accord de libre-\u00e9change avec les 28 pays de l\u2019Union europ\u00e9enne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426702\" data-originallang=\"en\">L\u2019Union europ\u00e9enne est une \u00e9conomie de quelque 500 millions de consommateurs auxquels le Canada aura d\u00e9sormais un acc\u00e8s privil\u00e9gi\u00e9. Il en va de m\u00eame du Partenariat transpacifique, ou PTP. Je suis tr\u00e8s d\u00e9\u00e7u que le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral ne semble pas saisir la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d'\u00eatre un chef de file et de jouer un r\u00f4le structurant en allant de l\u2019avant avec la ratification de cet accord majeur.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426703\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Cet accord, le PTP, concerne en effet 12 pays qui veulent se montrer plus ambitieux en mati\u00e8re de commerce et appliquer des r\u00e8gles s\u00e9v\u00e8res pour les \u00e9changes commerciaux au sein de la r\u00e9gion Asie-Pacifique. Nous parlons de partenaires comme le Japon, l\u2019Australie et la Nouvelle-Z\u00e9lande, mais \u00e9galement d\u2019autres pays moins d\u00e9velopp\u00e9s comme le Vietnam, la Malaisie, Singapour, le P\u00e9rou et le Chili, bref, autant de pays d\u00e9sireux de collaborer \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9limination des barri\u00e8res commerciales afin de stimuler la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 chez eux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426704\" data-originallang=\"en\"> L'ancien gouvernement conservateur a v\u00e9ritablement tout mis en \u0153uvre pour r\u00e9aliser le programme commercial le plus ambitieux que le Canada ait jamais connu. En 10 ans, nous avons pu n\u00e9gocier des accords de libre-\u00e9change avec 46 pays, portant ainsi \u00e0 51 le nombre total de pays avec lesquels le Canada a conclu des accords commerciaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426705\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je lance un d\u00e9fi au gouvernement lib\u00e9ral, qui n'a pas encore montr\u00e9 un int\u00e9r\u00eat soutenu pour le commerce. Au cours des 13 ann\u00e9es pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes, sous les gouvernements Chr\u00e9tien et Martin, tr\u00e8s peu de choses avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 faites, mise \u00e0 part la signature de trois petits accords commerciaux. Le Canada s\u2019est retrouv\u00e9 tr\u00e8s \u00e0 la tra\u00eene \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle internationale, \u00e0 une \u00e9poque d\u2019\u00e9changes commerciaux mondialis\u00e9s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426706\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous devons prendre les devants, faute de quoi nous serons perdants. Lorsque, contrairement \u00e0 leurs concurrentes d'autres pays, elles ne b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient pas d\u2019un acc\u00e8s privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 \u00e0 certains march\u00e9s, les entreprises canadiennes sont perdantes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426707\" data-originallang=\"en\"> C\u2019est mon message au gouvernement lib\u00e9ral. Qu\u2019il prenne le commerce au s\u00e9rieux parce que c\u2019est probablement le moyen le plus efficace de stimuler la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 du pays. C'est un outil indispensable. Ensuite, il faut qu\u2019il nous am\u00e8ne \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tape suivante, qui consiste \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer le niveau de vie des Canadiens, \u00e0 fournir aux consommateurs le rapport qualit\u00e9-prix qu\u2019ils recherchent lorsqu\u2019ils ach\u00e8tent des biens et \u00e0 procurer aux entreprises l\u2019acc\u00e8s privil\u00e9gi\u00e9 dont elles ont besoin pour \u00e9largir leurs d\u00e9bouch\u00e9s dans le monde.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4426708\" data-originallang=\"en\"> R\u00e9p\u00e9tons-le: nous appuyons fermement l'Accord sur la facilitation des \u00e9changes et nous recommandons vivement \u00e0 tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de se prononcer en sa faveur.</p>"
