Madam Speaker, every time a free trade agreement is set up, there are always challenges to move things along. Certainly with the war in Ukraine and the terrible things that have been going on there, it is crucially important that we get this right. A number of discussions have been ongoing in order to make sure that Bill C-57 is accurate. It will go to committee, where there will be further discussions. I look forward to it being very successful for Canadians, as well as for Ukrainians.

Madam Speaker, every agreement that goes forward must have all of those requirements. I would like to see that entrenched as much as possible in every piece of legislation that we do. Any work that we do with other countries around the world should be concerned with what the human rights impacts are and how we protect the environment, as well as the indigenous communities. We have an opportunity to put that in legislation, and I think it should be in all the documentation that we do.

Madam Speaker, we all want these agreements to be successful. We want to make sure that everything has been put in place. There have been extensive discussions and negotiations for a long time on this agreement, as with other agreements. I am quite confident, given the importance of this agreement, that the right steps will be in the legislation and that it will move forward as quickly as it possibly can.
