Mr. Speaker, we have seen how far the Prime Minister's cosy relationship with President Clinton got us. Not very far.
The government is telling Canadian businesses that it is up to them to create jobs. Yet, at this moment many of them are being forced to choose between doing business with the United States or doing business with Cuba. If the government really wants to create jobs, will it show some backbone and assure Canadian businesses that it is going to fight this bill on their behalf?
