Mr. Speaker, I took the opportunity to review the CUSMA, which is the current trade agreement that was signed by the United States, Canada and Mexico on July 1, 2020. It says that CUSMA will expire in 2036 unless it is extended before that, and the parties agreed to review the treaty every six years. This means the first review of this treaty would come up in 2026, meaning that what the President-elect of the United States has really done is threaten to abrogate and to tear up a trade agreement that was signed in good faith by all three parties.
I am wondering if my hon. colleague has any thoughts on that and what it does for a country like the United States, which claims to believe in an international rules-based order, in the World Trade Organization and in orderly managed trade. What does it say to him when the President-elect of the United States says that he would rip up an agreement signed in good faith, in violation of the terms of that agreement?
