Mr. Chair, I like that he says criss-crossing. My riding is not geographically that large, but I do get across it as much as possible.
There is an apprehension that I think exists in all of our ridings. The closer we get to the border, the closer that is, because that friendship and trust have been broken. Since the Second World War, we have looked to the United States and the United States has looked to us as a partnership. Canadians are taking that harshly and buying less. They are looking at the shelves and looking to see the red maple leaf is there before they buy. This is something I know will continue. That apprehension exists, but at the same time, we have to be there as a government to show that we support them in times of uncertainty.
