Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank Mr. Harris for introducing this well-worded motion.
I will be supporting it. I think it's a topical issue because of the recent announcement by the Government of Canada that it has concluded a Canada-U.K. trade continuity agreement. We haven't seen the text of that agreement or the detailed legislation implementing that agreement, so I think it's a timely motion for the committee to adopt to make it clear to the government where we stand on the issue.
I think it's been a long-standing Canadian government policy to support the principles of the Good Friday Agreement. Canada was instrumental in helping negotiate and implement that agreement some 20 years ago. Obviously, Brexit has implications for the U.K.-Republic of Ireland border, and I think whatever trade continuity agreement or subsequent full trade agreements may be negotiated in the future should be consistent with the principles of the Good Friday Agreement.
I thank Mr. Harris for introducing that motion, and I will be supporting it.
Thank you.
