Mr. Speaker, I am glad to rise on this occasion. I would like first to tell a very short story and then ask a question.
In 1993 I remember the NDP running ads talking about how free trade would kill jobs and devastate the Canadian economy, that it would be a colossal failure and that the whole nation would weep in the wake of the signing of a free trade agreement. I am glad to hear the member's party has changed its position on free trade. I remember as well the commercials that were run in the 1993 election campaign were actually made in the United States. It was rather ironic since they were running ads that were negative to free trade.
Is the member aware of other flip-flops the Liberal Party has made with regard to issues like free trade since they won election in 1993?
