Mr. Speaker, I wish our high-flying Prime Minister coveted results as much as air miles. Since taking office, he has made 28 trips, flying 153,000 kilometres, which is enough to circle the globe four times. He is off again this week, heading to the United Arab Emirates and then South Africa. That is no surprise from the Prime Minister, who collects passports like Pokémon and identifies as European when he is hanging out in Davos with his fellow global elites.
What do Canadians have to show for this? There are no trade deals and no tariff relief, just photo ops and hollow letters of intent. The Prime Minister blew past his own deadlines with the United States with no deal, and his eight-day junket to Asia made no progress. Chinese tariffs stay, India added new ones, and not a single tariff has been lifted on Canadian goods in eight months. As for accountability, he has appeared in question period just 11 times this fall.
If the Prime Minister is this bored with Canada, can he please make his next junket a one-way ticket?
