“The United States is our biggest trade partner, but the government is doing nothing to protect our economy from Donald Trump's trade policies. I want to know if people in Saskatchewan are worried about this too.”
“Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on her speech. I know that her province of Saskatchewan obviously has very significant trade ties with our neighbour to the south, the United States. I also know that Saskatchewan was quite pleased to see that an agreement had been reached with China on canola. The fact remains that, historically speaking, our number one economic partner has been the United States. Right now, this government is doing nothing to solve the problem, or should I say problems, that we are experiencing because of President Trump’s extremely hostile economic policies. I would like my colleague to comment on that. This government behaves as though it were the saviour of the Canadian economy in the face of Donald Trump, but there is nothing in its track record over the past year to suggest that we are on the right track. I would like to know whether this is as much of a concern in Saskatchewan as it is for us.”
