Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friend from Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan for his debate, particularly his discussion on the nature of the Canada-U.S. relationship.
I was following most of his argument and actually agreed with a significant part of his thesis until you took that turn at the end and were critical of the current Prime Minister's use of his relationship with President Obama and then turned around and later said that the fact that we have this relationship and cannot get the deal done is somehow a failing on the part of the government.
I want to ask a more serious question about how we could deepen that relationship.
We recognize how complex this particular file is. Can you actually give us some concrete solutions and things that you think need to be in this particular agreement?
