Madam Speaker, as I said, those are wonderful words. If they had been said in the election, they might even have been deserving of some support. However, that is not what the Prime Minister promised. He looked Canadians in the eye and he misspoke the truth. He misled Canadians to believe that he would be able to eliminate all interprovincial trade barriers by Canada Day. That has not happened. By the parliamentary secretary's own acknowledgement, that has not happened. That is a classic bait-and-switch.
Instead of having interprovincial trade barriers eliminated, the Liberals are now peddling a plan to eliminate interprovincial trade barriers. Those are two very different things, to say that we are going to eliminate the trade barriers and simply deliver a plan to eliminate the trade barriers in the future with no hard deadlines.
