It has been almost 12 months since we reached a new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada. Both Mexico and Canada promptly ratified the agreement, but the House majority party refuses to let us vote on it.

It is time to find the courage to bring this trade deal to the floor for a vote. ____________________
