Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for the added detail.
The reality is that only Conservatives would look at what has happened over the last year and say the best idea is to try to find a way to have more trade with the United States, when the rest of us, the vast majority of Canadians, have said it may not have been such a good idea to be so heavily invested in trade with the United States over the last several decades. We are saying it may be time to start to diversify.
That is what the Prime Minister and the government are doing. They are looking for new opportunities to diversify. They are looking for new trade relationships, so that when people look back on this in the future, they can say diversifying at that particular time in our history was the most important thing we did, because it made us less reliant on the United States.
