Madam Speaker, our government had a very productive and important meeting with the President last Monday.
Let me remind the House that the President assured Canada and the world that “We have a very outstanding trade relationship with Canada”.
As for NAFTA, it is important for all of us to continue to realize that the principal actors in the U.S. cabinet have not yet been appointed. Even more important, the United States has not formally initiated a NAFTA negotiation process. If and when that happens, we will be ready.
