Madam Speaker, I listened to the member's reply and cannot help wondering when he says the Prime Minister is a pawn if he would agree that perhaps the problems with our trade relations have to do with some sort of connection with the announcement last week when the Prime Minister decided not to join the U.S. missile defence.
I read about how it is a security issue. The spokesman said that they do believe it is a security issue. We believe it is a trade issue. I think it is both a trade and a security issue. I am wondering if the member would see a connection with the Prime Minister's announcement last week. Is it perhaps related? Does the member agree?
