Amarjeet Gill Conservative
“The U.S. is putting taxes on Canadian steel, aluminum, lumber, and auto parts. Canada needs to use our energy and minerals as bargaining power to get a trade deal. Why has the government failed to stand up for our workers?”
“Mr. Speaker, I think the member opposite understands the problem, but he is not providing the solution. Instead of talking about the issue, he was focused on improving his French in his speech. The U.S. continues to impose tariffs on key Canadian sectors: steel, aluminum, lumber and auto parts. If Canada wants a 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 industries depend on. Why have the Liberals failed to defend Canadian industries and workers in these critical sectors?”
