Madam Speaker, strange things happened last time we went around to negotiate CUSMA. The biggest problem was when Canada went to deal with the Trump administration and found it was unmatched. Months prior to the actual agreement being signed, Canada was left on the sidelines. Mexico came to the table and what happened was really phenomenal: Mexico became the U.S.'s number one trading partner in only four years after signing, while Canada has dropped to third.
Why does the finance minister think, if she could not sign a deal that made and kept Canada number one, that we will have anything different this time?
