Mr. Speaker, I understand what the member is saying. I know how very difficult it is in a huge country like ours, natural resource based in its economy, with every region of the country depending on primary resource industries that over a period of time seem to be getting deeper into trouble, but when we talk about even the concept of linkage, it causes problems right across the country. There is no question about this.
What we are trying to point out is that somehow the government must come up with a stronger bargaining position with the Americans and that these items need to be discussed. That is all we are saying.
