“Canada needs to develop its energy and minerals so we have more power when we deal with the United States. Factories in my area are hurting from American tariffs, and the Prime Minister has failed to fix this problem. I want the Bloc member to speak more about these tariffs.”
“Mr. Speaker, if Canada wants to deal with the United States, we need leverage. Our leverage comes from our strengths, our energy, our critical minerals and our ability to supply the inputs that North American industry depends on. Conservatives believe we should be building that strength, developing our resources, expanding our capacity and creating the conditions for investment so that Canada can negotiate from a position of power, not weakness. I know that the riding I represent, London—Fanshawe, has a manufacturing sector that has had to deal with the U.S. tariffs. Repeatedly, the Prime Minister has said that by a certain date, he would deal with U.S. tariffs, especially last July, and then on repeated dates. I am wondering if the member from the Bloc can expand on the continuing issue of the tariffs that we have to deal with today.”
