Mr. Speaker, I agree with the statement of my colleague.
The government is already on record as communicating with the American administration our opposition to the Helms bill. We will continue through the proper channels both through the World Trade Organization and through NAFTA to deal with this issue. It is our hope that whatever resolution will come out of it will be in the best interests of Canadian businesses.
The American administration is already on record as having some concerns with reference to the Helms legislation. That is very encouraging. It is our hope this bill will go down the tubes.
