Mr. Speaker, once again the Conservatives are trying to concoct a story where there is none.
It is my job to promote Canada and Canadian business around the world. Following the APEC summit in the Philippines, I was proud to visit California, one of our largest trading partners, larger than Japan, Germany, or the U.K., where I held six business round tables.
The Conservatives' accusations are absolutely wrong. All of our expenses were clearly posted months before this was raised.
