Mr. Chair, allow me the time to respond to this question.
There is no contradiction between growing the Canadian economy—doubling non-U.S. trade over the next 10 years by diversifying our trade relationships, including with Europe—and ensuring that Canadian businesses have markets south of the 49th parallel.
Our responsibility as a government is to grow the Canadian economy at a moment when the geopolitical order and in particular the world trading order that have been at the heart of Canada's prosperity for decades are being completely rewired.
Again, there is no incongruity between ensuring that we have a strong relationship with the United States and Mexico and diversifying non-U.S. trade, including with Europe, including with the ASEAN, including with Mercosur, including in the gulf region, from which I just returned, and the list goes on.
We will double non-U.S. trade. We will bring home $1 trillion of investment, $100 billion of which the Prime Minister has already received a commitment for. This is work that is pragmatic. It is not automatic, but it will continue, and we will deliver for Canadians and the Canadian economy.
