Mr. Speaker, the hon. member mentions that he would like to have me make speeches to U.S. senators. I assume he means the U.S. House of Representative members as well. He may want to check with the critic of his party who could probably describe to him the speeches I gave to U.S. senators and congressmen when I was in Washington.
I am fully engaged, as are other members of the government, in terms of dealing with the U.S. The kinds of actions we have taken in terms of our interactions, whether it be the Prime Minister or the minister, have led to the U.S. administration vigorously defending a rule that would see the border reopened. It has led to the President saying, “I am prepared to put my political capital on the line. I will veto any attempt in Congress to try to reverse this rule”.
