"Madam President, Commissioner, CETA has been many years in the making and we are now at the final stage. Canada is a country very similar to ourselves. If we cannot do a trade deal with Canada, who can we do a trade deal with? There are many historical ties between my constituency of Northern Ireland, and Canada, and we have significant economic ties today. For instance the Canadian company Bombardier has operations in Northern Ireland and I hope that once this deal is in place it will strengthen and deepen those ties.
We all know that any trade deal is not perfect and CETA comes with positives and also negatives, we are well aware of that. When the United Kingdom eventually leaves the European Union and embarks on its own trade policy, I hope it takes a balanced approach. The government seems to believe at the moment that we can do deals quickly. I believe quick deals are bad deals for the people. Throughout discussions on CETA, TTIP and Mercosur, I have repeatedly made the point that the European Union must not use agriculture as a bargaining chip, and I will continue to make that case as the United Kingdom embarks on its own bilateral trading relationships."@en1
