Madam Speaker, I am not sure of the question. I am not sure if the member is supporting the procurement policies in the United States and saying those are a good thing, or if he is saying that we somehow should still be working against them. It is unclear because it is very clear with us.
There are many provisions of buy American that are legal within U.S. domestic law, but there are also all kinds of provisions that are not legal under NAFTA and not legal under the WTO. We have to somehow level the debate here in the chamber. Hon. members simply cannot get up in the House and mislead Canadians, and mislead the Chamber and be in error on this issue. This issue is far too important.
What we are talking about here is rules-based trading. We have always stood for rules-based trading and we will continue to stand for rules-based trading. It is a benefit to both Canada and the United States. The protectionist measures that are being talked about in the U.S. are extremely dangerous, not just to the U.S. but to the entire global economy.
