Madam Speaker, the minister has some nerve telling us today that the government's voluntary approach is working. Only two agreements have been signed, yet the government set itself the deadline of December 2004 for all the industrial sector agreements. So it has failed miserably.
The minister has, moreover, just come back from California. He saw what is being done there. Can he make a commitment today in this House to table regulations to bring Canadian automotive manufacturing standards in line, not with U.S. federal government standards, but with California's?
