It gives me great pleasure to join the debate after the member for Lowe. I listened to his comments with great interest and in particular the comments he made in relation to trade policy. I wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge and take note of his great contribution in the role that he previously served in as the parliamentary secretary in that area. I know that he has been for many years now and will continue to be a very strong advocate for the people of Lowe. I first met the member for Lowe when he was campaigning for the seat in 1998.
