Mr. Speaker, that is an important question. It was very well received in terms of the removal of tariffs from baby clothes and sporting goods equipment.
It is more important to remember that the foreign aid program was created in 1970 to give special help to poor countries. It had not been reviewed since the 1970s. It meant that countries such as China and South Korea were receiving privileged access to our markets when competing against small businesses.
Again, I have to say that I think the opposition should speak with the Canadian manufacturing sector about its concerns. The government has provided many important measures that support the Canadian manufacturing industry. Again, it is not giving special preferential treatment to those countries that no longer need it.
