Dominic LeBlanc

Replying to Shuvaloy Majumdar (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, steelworkers are losing their jobs. Four in 10 manufacturers have moved production south or plan to. That will mean over 100,000 jobs lost in two months. Those workers cannot wait another two and a half years for a deal. Will the Prime Minister deliver a better deal than he was looking at in August or should we be waiting for the next public opinion poll to find out what a good deal is?”

Mr. Speaker, I think our colleague on the other side of the House is confusing our government with the weak-kneed approach of the Conservative Party in dealing with the Americans. We know they would have accepted any deal at any time to just get a deal that would not be in the interest of Canadian workers, the Canadian economy or the sovereignty of our country. We are going to do that difficult work that is necessary to protect our economy, and when that deal is available we will accept it.
