Mr. Speaker, when it comes to disputes with the United States, this government has a pretty spotty record.
This government was afraid to take on the Americans when it came to salmon. It was afraid to take on the Americans when it came to softwood lumber, grain and cattle. However, it was not afraid to take the bull by the horns when it came to defending the magazine industry.
Why is the government willing to sacrifice Canadian producers of salmon, lumber and steel but it stands up for magazine publishers?
