Mr. Speaker, I listened to the member as she reinvented history. It seems to me the member should recall that in 1988 the Liberal Party was against the free trade agreement, which we were attempting to negotiate with the United States of America.
She seems to forget that in 1993, one of the platforms she stood on to defeat a former prime minister of our country was her negative attitude toward NAFTA, the fact that we should not negotiate NAFTA. She was against the free trade deal.
When she talks about ideology and how that affects a relationship, she needs to realize that the Prime Minister of Canada has had a very good relationship with the newly elected President of the United States, the kind of relationship that is bound to produce a very good relationship, or with the previous president of the United States. It does not matter who it is.
When she tries to reinvent history, why can she not just be upfront with us and tell us why she was against free trade then and now is in favour of it?
