Madam Speaker, in the last election, the Prime Minister talked a great deal about expanding trade opportunities. To that end, we have seen the Prime Minister and the government travelling the world to ensure that we are able to expand our export markets. This is so critically important for all of Canada.
Personally, I am looking at some of the things that have come out of that, such as a commitment to work with the Philippines to try to get a trade agreement in 2026, and working with India to try to get a trade agreement in 2026.
These are interesting times we are in, and there are so many opportunities through trade. Canada is a trading nation. We have 0.5% of the world population, yet we contribute 2.5% of world trade. This is a Prime Minister who understands the importance of trade.
