Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the comments from the member on the other side. I also appreciate him bringing his role as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs to this debate as well, because it is very important. I have heard his words and ask him this.
At what point in time does he feel this will receive enough importance, with six days left before the decision is made by the Governor of Michigan to shut this line down, to elevate it to the Prime Minister meeting with the United States President to move the issue forward? This is very important to so many people in Canada. How do we move it to a level of extreme importance for our trading partner?
