Mr. Speaker, we know that the Prime Minister has never been a great defender of Canadian sovereignty. We have not seen that in his past practices and it is clear once again in his pursuit with George Bush of discussions of deep integration.
He never promised Canadians that he would pursue the George Bush agenda for North America. In fact, he left precisely the opposite impression with Canadians throughout the election. Why would the Prime Minister have offered a job to Mr. Manley to negotiate deep integration if he did not believe in it?
