Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague talked at length about the cultural exemptions.
We appreciate the briefing that the Liberals provided to members of Parliament last week, in which the hard-working public servants who were part of the negotiating team briefed us on matters relating to this new NAFTA. However, while we all recognize in the House the importance of a North American trade deal, these negotiators shared with us that, although they did make some gains on the cultural side of things, they did not on the government's so-called priorities for the environment and gender.
I wonder if the member could highlight his feelings on the areas that the negotiators made very clear they were not able to make progress on.
