Mr. Speaker, I would remind the hon. member that it was the Liberal Party that started the talks on free trade with the Americas.
The member can go to British Columbia or travel across Canada and business leaders will tell her that it was a Liberal prime minister, the Right Hon. Jean Chrétien, who took business leaders to those countries to pursue business relationships. It is all about forming relationships.
In the last three long years, the member's leader and Prime Minister of this country has poked China's eye. He has made no positive contribution to develop a relationship. Relationships develop trade and that is where the Prime Minister is lagging.
Instead of asking me this question, the member should be going to her leader and telling him to make progress on that file.
