Mr. Speaker, first, this is Canada, not the United States.
Second, our system moves much more efficiently than the American's. We have seen the example most recently on the health care issue.
Third, President Obama has given guidelines to move forward on this trade deal.
Fourth, the Americans did beat us, as I mentioned earlier, on the Central America free trade agreement and Canada lost.
One thing he did say was that I called it a trouble spot. I agree. If it were not a trouble spot, we would not be having these discussions. We would not have the committee going indepth, hearing the concerns of witnesses et cetera, outlining and identifying concerns in areas directly to the president and down. He mentioned the fact about members of the president's entourage running an investigation. Find me one country that does not have some troubles and will call it Utopia.
Let us not take the holier than thou approach and say that there is total innocence. There is no total innocence in Canada, and there will be never be anywhere.
It is a trouble spot. That is why Canada needs to go there to do it the Canadian way, to show people the Canadian way.
