Mr. Speaker, I really appreciated the member's speech and the fact that he has actually paid attention to the debate going on today. What really struck me were the comments in regard to Canada's being a trading nation and the importance of opening up opportunities for Canadians and Canadian businesses.
I know that Canadians within the region of Waterloo want access to global markets. They not only want to be able to sell to the Government of Canada; they also want our solutions to be solutions for other economies around the world so Canadian jobs and Canadian communities can benefit.
I would love to hear the member's comments in regard to Canada's being a trading nation and how the Conservatives have changed their position on the importance of global trade.
