Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, the dynamics of the discussions on this agreement are quite interesting. There is a rare unanimity among opposition parties, all of which concur that this agreement is far from perfect. In fact, it is supremely imperfect, but it seems that we are stuck with it. I so

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague opposite for his speech and say that I was very happy to hear him talk about copyright and succession.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague opposite for his speech. Hearing him talk about culture was music to my ears.
