“Mr. Speaker, it has been 278 days since the Prime Minister’s own drop-dead deadline for a trade deal with the United States. In that time, 2.7 million Canadian jobs that depend on cross-border trade have been threatened by tariffs and uncertainty. While Mexico is at the negotiating table, the Prime Minister is on YouTube calling Canada-U.S. trade a weakness instead of fighting for our businesses and workers. There has been enough talking. We just want the date. When will Canada have the trade deal with the U.S. that the Liberals promised?”
