Mr. Speaker, having attended the summit of the Americas conference, I have no problem at all congratulating the organizers of the summit, the security forces and the government for generally a good job in hosting the conference.
We have of course some concerns in a couple of areas. We do believe that by the year 2006 there will be great progress in terms of jobs and economic opportunity throughout the Americas.
However, in the area of softwood lumber and P.E.I. potatoes, could the Prime Minister tell us why there was a lack of progress on those specific areas? This is about jobs right now in Canada.
