Karina Gould Liberal
“Our government is supporting industries like steel and auto manufacturing. We are doing this to protect the jobs of the people who work in them and keep our economy strong.”
“Mr. Speaker, at the end of the day, what we are trying to do as a government is build a strong and resilient economy. We know it is extremely important that we support our industries so that we support our workers. When I talk about the steel sector, and when I talk about the automotive sector, it is not about the plant; it is about the people who work in those plants. I had the opportunity to visit Dofasco with the Prime Minister a couple of weeks ago. We spoke to the employees. I met a third-generation steel worker at Dofasco. The whole reason we are doing this is that we want to ensure that she continues to have that job, that she continues to be able to make a good living and that she has that respectable job that we can continue to have in this country. All of these measures are about supporting those workers. They make up our community and they make up our economy. The strength of Canada’s economy is in our people.”
