Mr. Speaker, my hon. friend is misstating what I understand the ambassador to have said.
He made some general comments about candidates and their approach in the past to Canada, but he was not stating a preference for one or the other. In fact his whole point was that whoever the Americans choose, Canada will continue its friendly relations with the United States and will work with the government in question.
The hon. member should recognize that instead of trying to engage in unworthy personal smears.
