Mr. Speaker, two million families in Canada have jobs that rely on trade with the United States and Mexico.

These sectors were ignored completely until midway through the rounds in the fall. With NAFTA on the brink of failure, how is the government now changing its strategy to protect these jobs dependent on trade?
