North American leaders wrap up Montebello summit
- 17 years ago
Critics have attacked the SPP for being too secretive, with an unknown agenda that may include water exports and a possible NAFTA superhighway -- a notion that Harper mocked.
"A couple of my opposition leaders have speculated on massive water diversions and superhighways to the continent -- maybe interplanetary, I'm not sure, as well," said the prime minister, tongue firmly in cheek.
But NDP international trade critic Peter Julian claimed that the SPP has a more extensive agenda than the government wants to admit.
"The NDP was able to obtain a meeting summary -- through a freedom of information request -- from a meeting that was held last February with the SPP ministers," Julian told CTV Newsnet.
