Replying to Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for her speech. I really appreciate her work, and we are both members of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. That said, I am having a hard time understanding the Conservative Party of Canada’s position on today’s motion. Like us, the Conservative Party has clearly concluded that this government is unable to fulfill the promise it made a year ago to resolve the tariff crisis. That crisis has only gotten worse. The Conservatives’ response to our motion is that they do not support the Bloc Québécois’s proposed temporary measures. They think the only response to this situation is to come to some agreement with the Americans, but, over the past year, this government proven itself incapable of doing that. That being the case, should we not proceed with the Bloc’s proposed measures to protect our jobs, our workers and our industries, at least until there is an agreement? I think the Conservative Party has an opportunity to support this approach now.”
