Mr. Speaker, after a decade of Conservative damage, I am proud to promote Canada to the world.
Even the Conservatives saw value in promoting our ties to our largest trading partner. In fact, they spent $50,000 to hire one of Bush's top aides to arrange TV interviews in the United States. They defended that by saying, “Canada has a very good story to tell, and it won't tell itself”.
We could not agree more, but we do not need to pay Republican consultants. We get invited on our own merits.
