I thank her for yielding and appreciate the work she has done in putting together this bill. What the indications are and what the colloquy I had with my colleague indicate are that the provisions that were deleted from the bill that we are considering today, the difference between the previously House-passed version and what is in the conference report are of utmost importance to members of our conference, to the leadership and to the President, and that through regular order we will pursue moving those agenda items forward in the next Congress.

Compared to a provincial government and Canadian taxpayers running (political) ads in the United States of America? You’re equating those two? C’mon, that’s not even close!

I thought the Ontario ad campaign was outrageous, calling it the first time in the U.S.’s 250-year history that a foreign government has tried to influence the outcome of upcoming elections.
