Madam Chair, I will repeat my question.
Our government wants an agreement, but not just any agreement. We want an agreement that truly serves the interests of Canadians. The public is well aware that we are in a position of strength when we are united in our negotiations with the United States. During the last election campaign, however, the Bloc Québécois proposed that negotiations for Quebec be managed separately. The people of Quebec decided otherwise by electing 44 Liberal members from Quebec.
Does my Bloc Québécois colleague recognize, as his province's electorate does, that it is better to be united in these turbulent economic times than to try to sow division in our negotiations?
