“The government charges billions of dollars in tariffs on car makers. This has cost people their jobs and caused a car plant in Brampton to close. I want to know when the government will remove these tariffs.”
“Mr. Speaker, the answer from the Liberal government is $5 billion collected on Canadian automakers, which is putting Canadian auto workers out of work, and $4 billion of those tariffs are to be paid by Honda and Toyota. They will not continue to pay those tariffs. The government’s answer is, “Don’t worry. There’s nothing to see here because we’re going to sign a free trade deal with Ecuador”. The Brampton auto plant that closed is in the Minister of International Trade’s riding. The Liberals’ strategy of delay led to that plant closing. When will they give up on this strategy of delay and get the tariffs off for Canadian workers?”
