Hon. Sergio Marchi (Minister for International Trade, Lib.)

Mr. Speaker, it is interesting that the hon. member was not at the trade committee because there was and still is no contradiction.
Let me quote to the hon. member exactly what I said: “I think it is clear that the tax base between the United States and Canada needs to continue to be closed”. Clearly the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance have stated repeatedly that we have started that work and that work will continue.
