The Conservative party's agriculture critic says the Liberal government isn't fighting for Canadian producers.
The United Kingdom wants to join the Asia-Pacific trading block which includes Canada and ten other countries.
Foothills MP John Barlow says while the Conservatives are pro-trade and don't oppose the UK becoming part of the bloc, there need to be changes.
"Two of the most significant issues are beef and pork. Beef imports into Canada from the United Kingdom are up about 700 per cent, beef exports to the UK, by contrast, are at zero, zero, not a single pound of Canadian beef is being imported to the United Kingdom and Canadian pork is going in very much the same direction," he says.
"So, there's reciprocity here, the United Kingdom has been throwing up non-tariff trade barriers on Canadian producers and it's not right. The liberal government has done nothing to defend Canadian producers, free trade has to be fair trade and the United Kingdom has not been living up to that."
The local MP says the trading bloc has based its policies on science while the European Union and the UK are giving in to activism and ideology.
"If we import that type of thinking into the CPTTP, (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Trade) that will have a massive change on how that trade agreement works for all of those partners or any future partner that is brought into that trade agreement and if Canada, as one of the original six signatories to that agreement, we should have a significant say and some leverage there that any new member that wants to join that must ensure that its trade policies and trade treatment of other members is satisfactory."
He says Canada needs to be able to stand up and say until these non-tariff trade barriers are fixed the UK will not be able to join.
