Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
The digital services tax is one of the most embarrassing debacles of the Liberal government, and it has had many. The Liberals were warned repeatedly that this was going to be a major trade irritant with the United States. When I travelled down to the United States as the shadow minister for international trade, I was repeatedly told by every congressman and senator I met with that the digital services tax was going to cause a huge problem in the relationship between Canada and the United States.
They went ahead anyway and imposed the digital services tax, which, of course, worsened the relationship between Canada and the United States. To make it worse, they just abandoned it for absolutely nothing in the negotiations with President Trump. It is really quite pathetic.
