Mr. Speaker, the last petition, e-petition 3777, initiated by Henry Evans-Tenbrinke from Hamilton, is in relation to the Australia, United Kingdom and United States military pact and the willingness of the U.S. to sell nuclear submarines and related military technologies to the Australians. These weapons sales would be in violation of the UN Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. This petition requests the Government of Canada to not only refuse any participation in the AUKUS pact, but also strongly condemn it as a breach of the UN nuclear non-proliferation treaty and a dangerous escalation of military tensions.

Madam Speaker, I find it laughable that the Conservatives basically reference the Communist Party of China now as though it was not the Communist Party of China when Harper signed FIPA. I will reference some of the ways in which that deal was described. It was absolutely “naive” with “capitulation to China on everything”, and, “The terms agreed to by Ottawa are unprecedented and would be laughed out of Britain, Brussels, Canberra or Washington. Beijing has negotiated a heads-I-win-tails-Canada-loses deal.” Would the hon. member not agree that much of the malaise that we are in right now with China economically is due to the 31-year deal that the Harper government signed when he was in power?

Madam Speaker, we have heard that party, time and again, cite that the targeting of an individual nation, such as Israel, was cause for anti-Semitism, yet it seems that party has a fixation on China. In fact, yesterday it was a Conservative MP who blocked a very basic motion to condemn the murder of a journalist in the occupied Palestinian territories. Why does the Conservative Party seem to have a double standard when it comes to upholding international law and basic human rights?
