Mr. Speaker, in fact that is not what he said yesterday and it is not what he said a month ago.
Maybe the Prime Minister would be taken more seriously in Washington on the softwood lumber issue, if he would get very serious and very specific on the issue of our border, on the issue of joint immigration standards, on the issue of joint visas and on the issue of detaining, deporting and extraditing fraud refugee claimants. The Prime Minister refuses to be specific and he refuses to be strong.
Will he communicate these specifics to the president and let him know that we are serious about a common secure border to protect our citizens and our trade with the United States?
