Mr. Speaker, the member said that when the Liberals were in government, they had a difficult time with trade agreements.
However, I am looking at the statistics since 2003. For the years 2004 through 2008, on average, we had a trade surplus of at least $50 billion per year. Then from 2008 to 2011 and all the way to 2013, there was only one year when we had maybe half a billion dollars of trade deficit. In all the other years, we are looking huge amounts of deficit in trade.
Would the member agree that the trade agreements they are signing are insignificant and are maybe not doing the job?
