Mr. Speaker, yes, of course we need to continue creating further trade partners, and that is a good thing.
What I mentioned in my speech was that there were things we could have brought to the table that were not brought, which is going to affect many people across this country, including in my riding. One that I spoke about was the softwood lumber and lumber industry. Another was the beef industry, the cattle industry, which affects my riding. What I think we are trying to say is that this could have been a moment in time when we could have really strengthened our trade negotiations, but unfortunately, that did not happen.
