Madam Speaker, in the last four-plus years, the government has spent a great deal of time and effort dealing with the issue of trade. We have signed agreements with the European Union and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Agreements have been signed with Ukraine and we have had other agreements with respect to the World Trade Organization. These are have really helped Canada's economy.
I ask for my colleague's thoughts on the importance of trade to our nation, no matter what region of the country we live in. Today we are debating important trade legislation that will positively impact all Canadians.
