Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister was elected on the promise that he was the only one who could deliver a trade deal with the United States. Instead, here is the dismal record. He promised a deal by July 21, and there is no deal. He promised elbows up and, instead, antagonized an unpredictable administration. He promised strength at the table and, instead, delivered concession after concession with nothing in return.
Meanwhile, Mexico got a deal. Its exports to the U.S. went up 1.4% last quarter, while ours dropped 18%. What has Mexico done so right that the Prime Minister has done so wrong?
