Mr. Speaker, the committee has not done any work on China, and it is all about consultations until it should.
The Liberals have turned the softwood lumber deal into a crisis. The Liberals are failing Canadian farmers on pulse exports to India; that deal is up in March. The Liberals rolled over on negotiations on NAFTA without really knowing what they are putting at risk. Now, the Liberals are engaged in secret negotiations with Chinese officials. It is more of the same.
Why do the Liberals not start cleaning up the messes they have already created before they launch new negotiations with China?
