Mr. Speaker, if the member were to go and check the list of the problems we inherited when we took over the government in 1993, he would see that it was far longer then. There were problems with the fisheries, vessels defying the government of the day by entering northern waters. I could go on. The softwood lumber problem was even around at that time.
When you have trade relations as significant as those between Canada and the United States, that is in the order of $1.2 billion daily, it is normal for there to be some problems. Generally we manage to settle them. This is why the Canadian economy is working very well.
