Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe Bloc Québécois
“The Prime Minister was elected on a promise to end the trade war. He kept delaying his deadline, and the trade war is now worse. His only plan is to borrow $25 billion for a fund that is not independent. I want to know what this says about the government's long-term plan.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have a simple question for my colleague. The government and the Prime Minister were elected a year ago, almost to the day, on essentially a single promise: to end the trade war. In April 2025, the Prime Minister promised us that the matter would be settled by June. He then postponed it to July and then September. In the end, here we are a year later, and not only is the trade war still going on, but it has gotten worse with Mr. Trump’s recent executive orders. The only thing this government can come up with is to borrow $25 billion and create a fund that is neither sovereign nor independent. What does that say about the government’s long-term vision?”
