Mr. Speaker, the election was not that long ago. Canadians, including those in the riding of Waterloo, were really concerned and commented about the one Canadian economy. It was a message that was quite well received. We know that premiers are onside.
Today we are having this debate, and the NDP is basically not even present while the Bloc is choosing to oppose the legislation but is not providing any amendments. The Conservatives are supporting it, yet are giving speeches as if they oppose it.
Could the member tell us what the benefits of this legislation are, and could he also reiterate the difference between federal interprovincial trade barriers and provincial ones?
