Madam Speaker, I enjoy working with this member of Parliament on the trade committee. He is a good member of Parliament, for sure.
The question I have for him is in regard to the timeline that he says is wrong. It is not wrong. The reality is that the way I portrayed it is exactly the way it happened. Another reality is that there was no consultation. In fact, if one talks to the bureaucracy, they consulted but the Liberal government did not consult.
If the member says the government consulted, and all these people were consulted, could he inform us how many meetings the Minister of International Trade had with different industry groups, specifically on Bill C-18?
How many consultation meetings did the trade committee have with stakeholders in the past year or two years in regard to Bill C-18?
