Mr. Speaker, to my hon. colleague from British Columbia, with whom I work closely on the Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association, of which I am the chair, I will say that we need to always emphasize and re-emphasize rules-based trade. We always need to emphasize our multilateral institutions. Canada is a founding partner of many of those institutions, from NATO to the WTO.
We must work together. We must point out to the United States, always, to any administration, that we are more than their friends; we are neighbours, we are family. Its success is dependent on us, our success is dependent on it, and that is what is most important. I look forward to working with the incoming administration and all the officials, as a member of the Canada-U.S. parliamentary association and as one of the vice-chairs.
