              UNITED STATES-MEXICO-CANADA TRADE AGREEMENT

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, passing the United States-Mexico-Canada 
Agreement means more market access for our farmers and businesses and 
more protection for our workers. This agreement includes new 
commitments in critical areas such as customs, digital trade, services, 
environment, and labor that are crucial to bringing higher wages and 
more jobs to American workers.
  Of course, enforcement is key to a strong and durable trade agreement 
that will deliver all of the benefits that I just listed. We need 
enforcement measures that work for all aspects of this agreement.
  It is time to bring NAFTA into the 21st century, and that is what the 
U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement will do. The time for USMCA is now.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mrs. Blackburn). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
