Hon. Paul Martin (Essex East):

Mr. Speaker, may I ask the Minister of Trade and Commerce if his attention has been directed to the statement of two important members of the recent trade mission which under his direction went to the United Kingdom. This statement appears in this morning's papers, and is to the effect that in the interests of that mission the government's proposal of a diversion of trade from one friendly country to another should be dropped. Has the minister any comment to make on this statement?

They say that this talk should be discontinued because it will have an adverse effect on our general trade relations. My hon. friends opposite are the ones wholly responsible for the comments made by these two distinguished members of the mission.
