Meanwhile, Canada has only 300 troops defending the [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are failing Canadian workers, farmers and businesses. Thepromised he would have a trade deal done nine months ago, but we are still waiting.

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that clarification from the member for Waterloo, because we are talking about report stage. We are talking about the amendments that were made, and that it is repealing section 319(3.1) and 3(b) of the act, which is the area that provides—

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from London for the hard work he has been doing in talking to Canadians across this country to ensure that they understand what is happening in the House.
