"Madam President, even when I disagree with them, I normally understand where my colleagues in the Greens and my friends on the left are coming from, but frankly in relation to CETA I just do not get it.
CETA creates employment opportunities. CETA protects public services, no forced privatisation, no ratchet clause. CETA defends our right to regulate, so no Frankenstein foods in our market, no threat to food safety. It contains an ambitious Labour Chapter. It commits our partners to multilateral environment agreements at a time when Trump threatens the Paris Accord, a vital thing. It kills investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) and replaces it with a modern, fair system of investment protection.
So what is it beyond the rhetoric, beyond the words that this is good for corporations, what is it in CETA that they really object to, because I do not hear it? I hear a lot of words, but I hear no substance in their objection to CETA, and that is what they should be standing up for. We live in a world that faces real dangers of protectionism. With this progressive deal, Canada and the EU are not only keeping markets open, they are keeping those markets open on the basis of common values, and that is something we should applaud."@en1
