David McKenzie Conservative
“Both Canada and the U.S. say they are ready to review our trade deal. Trade with the U.S. supports 2.6 million Canadian jobs, and tariffs are costing us billions. I want to know when the Prime Minister will start these talks.”
“Mr. Speaker, Canada’s ambassador to the U.S. says Canada is ready, willing and able to start the CUSMA review. The USTR says the U.S. is ready to talk, so what is the delay? This reminds me of a grade seven school dance. Everyone wants to dance, but no one will be the first to ask. There are 2.6 million Canadian jobs that rely on trade with the U.S., and tariffs are costing Canadians billions. When will the Prime Minister pick up the phone and get moving on the U.S. trade deal that he promised Canadians?”
