Mr. Speaker, the government got a good deal.
Let me explain something. The Conservative post-battle courage is ironic, given that last year, Stephen Harper and the Conservatives were imploring us to capitulate and accept any deal at any price. Let me quote from Harper's memo, “it does not matter whether current American proposals are worse than what we have now.”
Over and over, the Conservatives urged us to take Harper's advice. That was not our approach, and we got a good deal.
