Mr. Speaker, the reason Conservatives could not even muster a full speech on international trade is that their record has been so lamentable. We look at the CBSA cuts they put into place during the corrupt Harper regime, actually eliminating almost 1,200 frontline positions. This has led, of course, to the kinds of problems we are seeing now at the border. They voted against the Ukraine trade deal as well.
When the Conservatives were in place under Harper, the Harper regime had a terrible record of selling out this country. This is why the Conservatives presented a concurrence motion and then could not even muster a 10-minute speech to actually talk about international trade. It is because their record has been so poor.
I would like to come back to my colleague and simply ask him this: Why did they kill 1,200 positions in CBSA, leading to the crisis we see today?
