Mr. Speaker, I have just two quick points.
The hon. member keeps talking, as do others on that side, about the policy, about having a policy and about the minister giving the policy. I have yet to see this policy in writing and to see exactly what it entails.
He mentioned in his speech that we should go to the Americans to see what we can give them in order to get a small piece of this business. I guess I take some offence to this idea of us always going with hat in hand to the Americans. It seems to me this is what we are doing all the time. We did it on the ethanol case. We did it when they would not allow us to launch our satellite. Bill C-55 was another example. We could go on and on with the examples of how we are constantly going with our hat in hand to the Americans.
Why can we not stand up as Canadians, develop a policy for ourselves and put something on the table with strong force rather than going to see what we can give in order that they allow us to have a part of this business?
