Helena Konanz on An Act to Implement the Protocol on the Accession of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership

Mr. Speaker, we should be negotiating with countries around the world that have the same moral compass as Canada.

I will give the example of my riding. Similkameen—South Okanagan—West Kootenay has one of the longest borders with the United States in the country. I think the member is asking if we should be looking elsewhere. We should, but at the same time, we need to keep this relationship with the United States. Ridings like mine, where we have six border crossings, depend on trade with the United States, so we need to keep our trade and we need to keep negotiating with Washington, D.C. during these turbulent times.
