Mr. Speaker, my colleague is quite right. The Liberals have been absolutely atrocious in their dealings with the Americans.
Coming from the northwest coast of British Columbia, I know all too well how much the people in my communities who fish are going to suffer as a result of the Pacific salmon deal. The member is quite right. We caved in to the Americans on Pacific salmon. The Liberals caved in. The minister wraps himself in the flag and tries to paint himself as the conservation fisheries minister, but in reality what we have done is sold out to the Americans.
I would like to know sometime in my life what the Canadian government got in return somewhere else in Canada. I am sure there is some backroom bargaining going on.
I would also like to remind the member that I come from British Columbia which has an NDP administration. He was demonstrating postures so I have one for him. With an NDP administration, we in B.C. have the posture of having no money left because the NDP unfortunately cannot run a province.
Does my colleague have any comments to make about that since he was demonstrating the NDP's position with respect to the Liberal negotiating positions?
