Madam Speaker, that in fact was reflected throughout my remarks. The point that I was trying to make is that when we make representations to the United States, these representations have to be on a multi-layered approach to both parties in Congress, to non-governmental organizations, to the public sector and the like.
The second thing is that when we make this approach, we have to underpin it with the rule of law principle. That is the commitment that underpins everything President Obama does. Unless we speak that shared language and unless we speak with respect to those shared values, we will not connect in a way that we would wish in order for our advocacy to be effective.
We should enlarge our approach with respect to invoking the rule of law principle to other dimensions of our bilateral relationship, so that President Obama will see that he has in Canada a partner with respect to the pursuit of justice as a whole, of which the matter of free trade is one important component but not the whole of the pursuit of justice.
When we are seen to be pursuing justice in concert with President Obama, the U.S. administration and Congress, we will succeed better on this issue. We will succeed as well on the other issues that I referred to in my remarks.
