Mr. Speaker, today, at the Subcommittee on International Trade, Trade Disputes and Investment, I made some comments that raised many questions. I would simply like to say that I had the opportunity to review the transcript and I recognize that I may have used certain words that were a little exaggerated.
I believe it is up to our government and each one of us to undertake to be constructive in our relationship with the United States. It is in our interests. It is part of our Canadian values to cherish the relationship with the United States, as I do as someone who is half American and has family in the United States. I would apologize to the members in this House that my comments were a little bit exaggerated. I apologize.
