Mr. Speaker, it has become obvious the Prime Minister is not taken seriously on the world stage. While the Liberals try to justify his disastrous foreign diplomacy, the Prime Minister inevitably makes another misstep that further erodes Canada's reputation. The result is that Canada has never been more alone.

\n

Canada's economy and prosperity depend on trade and trade is all about relationships. Failed diplomacy is failed trade. That is why this meeting with the U.S. President this week is important. It is an opportunity for the Prime Minister to repair a strained relationship and advance Canada's interests.

\n

Canadians imprisoned in China, softwood lumber, a guarantee of no new U.S. national security tariffs, improved defence and security, and Canada's Arctic sovereignty must all be addressed. Canada and the United States must resolve our differences and unite to face the common threats to our freedom and democracy.

\n

Canada needs a Prime Minister who will rise to the challenge in Washington. There is much at stake.

Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, il est maintenant manifeste que le premier ministre n'est pas pris au s\u00e9rieux sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale. Alors que les lib\u00e9raux tentent de l\u00e9gitimer sa diplomatie \u00e9trang\u00e8re d\u00e9sastreuse, le premier ministre ne peut s'emp\u00eacher de faire un autre faux pas qui mine davantage la r\u00e9putation du Canada. Par cons\u00e9quent, le Canada n'a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 aussi seul.

\n

L'\u00e9conomie et la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 du Canada d\u00e9pendent du commerce et le commerce est une question de relations. Un \u00e9chec diplomatique est un \u00e9chec commercial. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi la rencontre avec le pr\u00e9sident am\u00e9ricain cette semaine est importante. C'est l'occasion pour le premier ministre de d\u00e9crisper une relation tendue et de promouvoir les int\u00e9r\u00eats du Canada.

\n

Les Canadiens emprisonn\u00e9s en Chine, le bois d'\u0153uvre, la garantie qu'il n'y aura pas de nouveaux droits de douane am\u00e9ricains, une d\u00e9fense et une s\u00e9curit\u00e9 am\u00e9lior\u00e9e et la souverainet\u00e9 du Canada dans l'Arctique sont tous des sujets qui doivent \u00eatre abord\u00e9s. Le Canada et les \u00c9tats-Unis doivent r\u00e9gler leurs diff\u00e9rends et s'unir pour contrer les menaces communes \u00e0 la libert\u00e9 et \u00e0 la d\u00e9mocratie.

\n

Le Canada a besoin d'un premier ministre qui sera \u00e0 la hauteur de la situation \u00e0 Washington. Les enjeux sont grands.
