All right, then. I appreciate that; it was a very thoughtful response.
It's rather interesting too, because my colleague opposite is the only person I know on the planet who says that when another deal has been signed ahead of him, somehow he's figured out that it has put them behind Canada. I have to tell you, that's a very curious logic. Maybe it's just the singular logic of my friend, but it comes to the point: that to the extent that we don't get this deal in place now, we're already behind.
My colleague opposite from the official opposition very thoughtfully made the comment that we've lost out on opportunities on the Panama Canal because we didn't sign this deal before.
With no disrespect, because you weren't in this House at that time, I would say to you, sir, that it was your party that prevented us from putting the Panama Canal opportunity in place, because your party was the one, unfortunately, that went against putting this deal in place.
Is that a fair comment?
