Mr. Speaker, when the Americans raised the threat level to orange there were immediate tie-ups at the border and the Nexus lanes were temporarily closed.
This has many Canadian manufacturers very concerned about the long term access to their American markets and some are even contemplating moving down to the United States.
Given that one-third of the Canadian economy is dependent upon exports to the United States, why has the government been unable to assure our exporters access to their American markets?
