Mr. Speaker, just by the structure of this bill, there is no chance there will be no trade barriers by Canada Day in interprovincial trade. I had the privilege of working on the CFTA with the members opposite. Basically, we got a whole bunch of exemptions, put them together in a package and called it a Canadian internal free trade agreement. This is something the Conservatives are not looking to repeat. We want free trade for all, for everyone. It would unleash our economies and make Canada one of the most powerful countries we could ever imagine.
