Tim Hodgson Liberal
“The United States has started a trade war with Canada. We are protecting our economy by building new mines and pipelines. The Conservatives should help build the country instead of attacking it.”
“Mr. Speaker, the hon. member should do his economic homework. He should understand that Canada is the country most integrated with the United States in the world. The United States has declared a trade war on us. This side of the House understands that. We will control what we can control. That is why we are building four new mines at Red Chris. That is why we are building new pipelines under Sunrise. That is why we are building four new mines in Saskatchewan, including a uranium mine, a potash mine and a copper mine. The Conservatives should start to understand economics and try to help build this country instead of tearing it down.”
