Mr. Chair, it is deeply regrettable that this motion was defeated because, as a result, the message that we're sending from this committee is that Canadian jobs and the confusion being caused don't matter. Regardless of what niceties are being said about the relationship with our U.S. counterparts, when you sit across the table from them, the niceties go out the door. We need to protect Canadian jobs, and that, right now, I'm afraid is not being done.
