I echo the sentiments expressed on the new trade relationships that have been formed with China. Last week, I was in the United States and I experienced the transformation in attitude there towards this country. Last year, they were putting us down but this year there was a complete turnaround in attitude by America. A positive image and pride has been restored in this country. It is about time we began to restore and instil a positive attitude in people in this country.
