Mr. Speaker, it will not surprise anyone that the premise of the question, that Canada is not actively engaged with the United States or at a negotiating table, is not accurate. I have had a number of conversations, on a weekly basis, with senior members of the American administration. The Prime Minister is also communicating directly with President Trump. Our chief negotiator Madam Charette and Ambassador Wiseman are also having conversations.
We are doing the important work that Canadians expect us to do, but we are also focusing on what we can control here at home.
