Mélanie Joly Liberal
“Canada is in a trade war that puts jobs at risk. We just announced $1.5 billion to support steel, aluminum, and copper workers and other workers across the country.”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague in charge of natural resources will be able to answer that question. What I can add to that is that the Conservatives, in all their questions, always forget something that all Canadians know, which is that we are in a trade war. A lot of workers’ jobs are at stake, and that is exactly why today we announced $1 billion through the BDC to help our steel, aluminum and copper workers, and it is also why we announced $500 million to support workers across the country. We have been there since the beginning of the trade war, and we will continue to be there.”
