Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her question as well as her work on the trade committee.
Let me remind her and the House that the Conservatives failed to initiate any negotiations or to reach any new agreements.
On the contrary, we have been working hard from the outset to gain the confidence of the industry, to understand the nuances of the Canadian industry from coast to coast to coast. We are working hard at our negotiations and we hope to reach the best negotiated settlement possible.
