Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about the recession that is looming on the horizon. He articulated very well the dark clouds that may be coming. With reference to EDC, the global trade system has come under tremendous pressure because of the events that have taken place. As such one does not have to be a rocket scientist to know that trade globalization by itself has suffered to some degree and now EDC is in that market.
Would the member not think that in a short period of time EDC will not be able to fulfill its mandate and as such it is time to review its mandate altogether?
