“We make trade deals that help Canada. Since the last election, we have made 20 new trade and security deals. These deals help our farmers and ranchers sell to big markets like China and Indonesia. Since the start of 2025, our exports to countries other than the United States have gone up by 40%.”
“Mr. Speaker, all agreements are considered through the lens of Canadian interests, and all agreements are considered in the context of our other agreements. As has already been mentioned, Mercosur is an enormous market. Since the last election, the government has reached 20 new trade and security agreements. These agreements open markets for farmers and ranchers in places like China and Indonesia, two countries, by the way, that are 20% of the world population and 20% of the world GDP. Since the start of 2025, non-U.S. exports have climbed 40%. We are building a strong Canada for all: for our ranchers, for our farmers and for all Canadians.”
