TPP DECISION WATCH – Day 8 – Still no decision from Trudeau

It’s been 8 days since the Trans Pacific Partnership was announced and Justin Trudeau continues to dodge questions about whether he supports the deal or not.

While Mr. Trudeau either can’t or won’t make a decision, that’s not the case for a number of Liberal candidates, including Mr. Trudeau’s own agriculture critic:

“If they (the Conservatives) have opened the borders to the United States milk in here, we are not going to be supporting this deal…” Mark Eyking, Liberal agriculture critic, September 26th 2015, iPolitics.

“I have talked to the wine growers … and wine industry here,” said Rahman. “They are very concerned about the impact that (the TPP) competition will bring in.

Liberal candidate, Phil Rose, Niagara West, September 30th 2015.

“…our prime minister is negotiating an agreement that would put those jobs at risk, put the manufacturers at risk and put our community at risk…”

Liberal candidate, Pam Damoff, Oakville North-Burlington, October 2nd 2015.

Leadership means making the tough decisions. The TPP will drive wages down, kill jobs and severely impact our internet freedoms.

Either Justin Trudeau can’t decide about the TPP, or he’s hiding the fact that he actually supports Stephen Harper’s secret TPP deal.
