Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for making a constructive suggestion. We have had some of those today but not as many as we would have liked. All of us in the House recognize that we need to bring a responsible approach to this issue. We need to talk about it seriously to find constructive ways, not irresponsible ways, to overcome these problems.
The suggestion of a new dispute resolution mechanism is a good one. The existing mechanism does not work as it should in this case. It requires a will on both sides to have a mechanism that works. The one already existing in NAFTA is not satisfactory. I hope we and the American government can find the will to work out a new mechanism, one that works for both sides and one that carries into practice what the American administration and congress tend to advocate, which is free trade. Let us have free trade. If we are for free trade, we cannot be for it in some things and not in others. Let us have it in lumber and agricultural products. The member has a very good suggestion and I look forward to others.
