"Madam President, as a member of the Committee on International Trade, and of the Delegation for relations with Canada in the last mandate, I have been following this agreement all that time. I must say I am somewhat amazed at the alternative facts which are now in vogue in this establishment and around the world. You could say this is the age of alternative facts.
One of them, which has been flying around my Twitter feed over the last few days, says CETA will put 90 million jobs at risk. That is nearly half the jobs in the European Union and this from a country, Canada, which has only 35 million people itself. These are the facts being perpetrated and which the people out there protesting today believe.
If I thought it was going to cost 90 million jobs I would be against it too. In actual fact, it is the opposite. We are in favour of it because it is going to create jobs. It is going to create jobs in Europe, in Ireland, and that is what we want. The agreement with South Korea created 210 000 jobs, and yet the Canadian agreement is going to cost us jobs? Is this logical? No."@en1
