Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I see the two main parties passing the buck back and forth and blaming each other for past failings in various deals over the years.

Resumption of debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question.
