Kerry Diotte Conservative
“The United States is our biggest trading partner. We need to trade with them without tariffs, but high taxes make that harder and will hurt us.”
“Mr. Speaker, Canada is not alone, but that is hardly a bragging point. Saying other countries overtax their citizens, too, is not a bragging point. Whether we agree with the U.S. on certain things or not, they are our biggest trading partner. We need to get tariff-free access to United States markets. This is a major impediment and it is going to have absolutely terrible repercussions.”
