Mr. Speaker, I am inclined to agree with the member's comments with respect to the NDP, but there is a difference in terms of the way in which the Liberals have approached free trade. At the end of the day, we recognize the importance of having trade agreements.
In fact, we saw that under the Jean Chrétien administration, but we also saw a different approach of trying to get more exports and imports. For example, team China went over and brought in literally hundreds of millions of dollars of trade between the two countries. I believe that is also important.
The member's government does not seem to recognize that value. When the Prime Minister went over, he brought back a couple of panda bears.
Why does the member suspect the trade surplus that the Conservative government inherited through the Paul Martin government was reduced to being into the billions of dollars of a trade deficit? What happened? What did the Conservatives do wrong?
