Madam Speaker, one of the questions that it would be good to get a New Democrat response to is with regard to trade between Canada and the United States. I have posed this question before.
The United States is talking a lot about buying American. I am trying to get an understanding of where the New Democrats are on those types of policies.
Inside the House of Commons I would hope they would recognize that the buy American policy is to the detriment of thousands of jobs here in Canada. However, the leader of the NDP in the province of Ontario is promoting a “buy Ontario” policy.
Does the member see that as a contradiction? Does the buy American hurt jobs--
