Kyle Seeback Conservative
“Tens of thousands of Canadians have lost their jobs. The government signed a trade deal with Ecuador instead of fixing tariffs that threaten 2.6 million Canadian jobs. When will the government go back to the negotiating table to protect these jobs?”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal answer to the tens of thousands of Canadians who have lost their jobs about their strategy of delay is tell them to not worry about their EI, not worry about their families and not worry about how they are going to pay their mortgages because they signed a free trade deal with Ecuador, which is a rounding error in Canada’s GDP. If these Liberals are serious, they will explain why they decided their strategy is to not negotiate to try to get a deal on the tariffs that affect the 2.6 million Canadians whose jobs are tied to trade. When will they go back to the negotiating table to protect those jobs?”
