Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister for International Trade.
Senator Jessie Helms and others in the United States continue to attack Canadians for carrying on perfectly legitimate business activities in Cuba. They threaten actions that violate basic principles of international law, undermine trading rules they have argued for and act as if they have the right to dictate conduct to all countries in the western hemisphere.
What is the government doing to tell the American government it does not decide where Canadians go, what we do and that our perfectly legitimate business activities are our concern and not its?
