Mr. Speaker, I flat-out reject those statements, as they do not stand up to economic analysis. Other forums will be necessary, considering the format.
The Prime Minister said that the once close and trusting relationship we had with the United States is over. That statement was not well received in Washington.
Can he say whether he is now confident that the once special and trusting relationship between Canada and the U.S. administration will soon be restored? It is a necessary step toward restoring the trade relationship.
