Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative
“Tariffs are still in place, steel tariffs went up, and businesses are closing. The government's economic update just spends more money instead of fixing these problems. I want the minister to give a real answer about this.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am thrilled to hear that I left an impression on the minister. What I am struck by is the fact that absolutely nothing has been resolved, despite what she just said. The tariffs are still in place. In fact, they actually went up for all steel-related products. This is a disaster. Too many businesses are shutting down. That is the true state of affairs. The members on the other side of the House are spouting fine words, but the reality is totally different. What we got from the Prime Minister’s economic update was a budget containing yet more spending but no concrete solutions to the problems we face today. Does the minister have anything relevant to say?”
