“Unfair American tariffs are hurting our economy. We are protecting Canadians by uniting our own economy, trading with new countries, and building major projects like high-speed rail and better ports.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think Canadians know why. They are well aware that Canada’s economy is one of the most highly integrated with the American economy and that we are facing headwinds and disruptions because of the illegal and unjustified tariffs imposed by the Americans. That being said, the reason Canadians chose this government is because a lot of things remain within our control. For example, we can build one Canadian economy. That could potentially add $215 billion to the GDP. That is what we are doing. We can build major projects. Examples that come to mind include high-speed rail between Quebec City and Toronto, expanded port infrastructure and market diversification. That is exactly what we are doing to support Canadians.”
