Replying to Pierre Poilievre (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I ask when. Today is the mid-terms, and that reminds us the Prime Minister promised in the election he was going to negotiate a victory for Canadians, a big win. Since that time, he has done nothing but lose, with American tariffs doubled and vastly broadened. While Canadians are lined up at food banks, businesses are leaving and Canadians are losing their jobs, the Prime Minister said he could wait another two and a half years to get a deal. Then suddenly, on Sunday, he put out a headline-grabbing tweet saying he would get a deal in the next few weeks. When will the theatrics be over? Will the Prime Minister get back to the table, fight the tariffs and negotiate the promised win?”

Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition would probably be the leading expert in the House of Commons in terms of theatrics. I think what is important for Canadians is to know that their government will always be there to support workers and industries that are facing the effects of these unjustified and illegal tariffs. One point where we perhaps agree with the Leader of the Opposition is that this is causing economic hardship for Canadians. That is why we are supporting Canadians and we are not going to rush into any old bad deal that the Leader of the Opposition would have accepted a year ago because he would not have had the guts to face— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
