Mr. Speaker, we support this motion, and why would we not? It is what we have been doing all along. I would like to make a couple of observations and solicit my colleague's comments on them.
As I said, we have been doing what the motion suggests all along, long before the Liberals brought it up in the House. What is troubling to me is the political convenience, and that is all it is, of misleading statements being made by members on the other side on their imaginary issue that we have been doing nothing. These statements are misleading the House and misleading Canadians. We have been doing an awful lot and my colleague brought it up in his speech.
We have had a strong relationship with the United States for many years and that will continue regardless of who is in the White House, and regardless of political stripe. That has not changed and it is not going to change. The political convenience of those comments is very misleading.
Earlier, the government House leader mentioned how we need to try to do a better job with respect to cooperation in the House and so on, and we are. Then we hear comments from the member for Vancouver Centre, which frankly are just tiresome twaddle and partisan prattle. It does not serve the purpose of cooperation in the House and does not serve the purpose of taking a worthy motion, and moving it forward like we should be doing.
