Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, it sounds like they are just going to watch and listen and do nothing. The government has a terrible record with the Biden administration in responding to trade irritants with our most important trading partner, whether it be softwood lumber, electric vehicles, Keystone XL, aluminum, potatoes, Line 5 and now beef.

Prince Albert  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank the constituents of my riding of Prince Albert for giving me the honour of serving as their member in Canada's 44th Parliament. As we all know, no one gets elected by themselves: it takes a team, and I had a great team. My success is a result of their hard work.

Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act  Madam Speaker, I know my colleague spent time as a police chief. His time in the House has been extensive and he has a lot of experience to share. Does he see anything in the legislation that would actually prevent, restrict or reduce crime?

Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act  Madam Speaker, in the last election, constituents in my riding of Prince Albert wanted to see us get tougher on gang crime, criminal activity and rural crime. It appears this legislation would do the opposite and would send the wrong signal. I am curious what the his constituents would say to him with respect to what the priority should be when dealing with criminals, illegal guns and things like that.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, let us back up. Congressman Young from Alaska asked the minister last year about the issue with cruise ships going up the west coast. The Jones Act requires them to actually stop in Vancouver and then move on to Alaska. All they wanted to do was tie up for 10 minutes, not leave the boat and proceed on.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the honesty from the minister. However, this is actually a foreign affairs question, because it was foreign affairs and GAC that did not relay the information. Now what has happened in that sector is that this congressman has put forward legislation that, in the future, would bypass Victoria and Vancouver and all the cruise ships that are now required to stop there.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, the United States is leading Canada on so many things throughout the world, and one is reshoring companies back into North America. Just yesterday, there was a $240 million investment in Virginia by Toyota. A couple of weeks ago, there was a $17 billion investment by Samsung in Texas.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, the minister understands that the $17 billion investment in one project in Texas is more than all of Canada's investments in the manufacturing sector last year. She must have a strategy for bringing investment into Canada. What is that strategy and what is she putting forward in resources in our trade commissioner service to do exactly that?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, again, the U.S. has a reshoring program in place. It is actively going throughout the world to shore up their supply chains and bring back the critical manufacturing goods into the U.S. When we talked to members of Congress and the Senate, they would love to include Canada.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, in promising these critical elements to our best friend and trading partner, the military in the U.S. definitely wants them. They want to work with us, yet there is no game plan in Canada to make it achievable. What is the game plan moving forward to actually join our supply chains and do things like critical elements together so that North America can benefit?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, that is a great point. That was not even mentioned in any of the briefings while we were in Washington last week. In fact, we did not even talk about Line 5. This is a line that involves tens of thousands of jobs in Sarnia and it was not even on the agenda.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, you have heard a lot of issues we have with the United States and my first question is who is actually in charge of the relationship with the United States. Is it the Deputy Prime Minister, is it the Minister of Foreign Affairs or is it the Minister of International Trade?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, that is interesting. Two weeks ago, the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of International Trade, plus two other ministers were in Washington talking about the relationship. However, this past week I was in Washington talking about electric vehicles and they were not even aware of it.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, Senator Marshall was not aware of it when I talked to him. In fact, his biggest concern was the cancellation of Keystone. He lost a $1-billion investment in that refinery. His question to us was why we did not fight for it.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, I would like to know that myself, because I was not included in any of her meetings. The only things I was included in were the round tables with the home builders and labour unions. All four of the labour unions asked why we did not stand up for jobs with Keystone.
