Liberal on Steel and Aluminum Industry 2026-10-28

69 words · 4 sentences · 4 clauses

Replying to Ned Kuruc (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, the only thing late is the minister filing a lawsuit to protect Hamilton workers. This is the third pay cycle that Hamilton steelworkers are missing. I spoke with Stelco workers this morning and they want action. The CEO admitted yesterday that he bought the company as a defensive measure to protect his American profits. We also know he supports Trump and his unjustified steel tariffs. The Liberals approved this takeover. Now they are watching Canadian steel jobs disappear. Will the Prime Minister stop being bullied by Trump’s buddies and file the lawsuit today?”
