The Liberals are failing Canadian farmers on pulse exports to India; that deal is up in March. The Liberals rolled over on negotiations on NAFTA without really knowing what they are putting at risk. Now, the Liberals are engaged in secret negotiations with Chinese officials. It is more of the same.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4770445\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why do the Liberals not start cleaning up the messes they have already created before they launch new negotiations with China?</p>",

Ils d\u00e9\u00e7oivent les fermiers canadiens en ce qui concerne les exportations de l\u00e9gumineuses en Inde; cet accord prend fin en mars. Ils se sont laiss\u00e9 imposer la ren\u00e9gociation de l'ALENA sans vraiment savoir ce qu'ils risquaient. Et voil\u00e0 qu'ils prennent part \u00e0 des n\u00e9gociations secr\u00e8tes avec les repr\u00e9sentants chinois. C'est l'histoire qui se r\u00e9p\u00e8te. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4770445\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi ne nettoient-ils pas leurs d\u00e9g\u00e2ts avant d'entreprendre de nouvelles n\u00e9gociations avec la Chine? </p>"
