Mr. Chair, I think we've learned that we can't rest on our laurels. Minister Fast has been very clear to say that he understands that.
I like to use hockey analogies because they are so popular when we talk about trade in Canada. In the first period, if you look at the post-NAFTA period, say the first ten years, we were up. If you look at Canada's share of global trade, it was growing a lot, but I think we got a little bit passive about that. In the second period we sort of sat back, thought we could keep the lead, and the other teams put up a big fight and we fell behind. Essentially, we're in the third period right now and we need to rally and we need to come back. I think the message of the past ten years is that we need to take a look at all the tools we have, all the policy levers we have. I think there is a general consensus in Canada, across all of the parties, that trade is going to be a fundamental part of our future prosperity. We need to basically fire all pistons and use all the tools we possibly can to get this back on track.
