Jason Groleau Conservative
“Canada's biggest trade partner will always be the United States. Other trade deals will not fix our problems. The government needs to talk to the American president and make a trade deal.”
“Mr. Speaker, I agree that no one wants a bad deal. However, if a mouse pesters an elephant, the elephant will end up stomping on the mouse. What happened? The tariffs doubled. Why? It is because they did not have a discussion. The government can take all the measures it wants and negotiate deals all over the world, but that is not going to fix the real problem, which is that our biggest trade deal will always be with the U.S. The government needs to sit down, pick up the phone, call the White House and get a deal.”
