Mr. Speaker, when it comes to defending Canadians against U.S. protectionism, the government has failed consistently.
DFAIT officials before a committee admitted that the government had failed to take pre-emptive action against buy American, even though President Obama has been stating made in America for months.
The WTO found United States country of origin labelling is a trade violation and yet the government makes excuses.
When will the Minister of International Trade realize that United States protectionism is something he must defend against, not make excuses for?
