I remember one parliamentarian saying to me at the time, “I can't imagine that any Canadian citizen is really worried about something called the multilateral agreement on investment”. He came back to me a few days later, after he had been on an MPs' study tour and said that while he was paying for gas at a station in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, he saw on a clipboard a petition to stop the MAI. It contained several pages of signatures.
Il m'a dit que, en payant son essence à une station-service de Corner Brook, à Terre-Neuve, il avait vu sur une planchette à pince une pétition visant à empêcher l'adoption des AMI. Cette pétition contenait plusieurs pages de signatures.
