Mark Gerretsen Liberal
“The world is unpredictable right now. We are working to build a stronger economy that trades with many different countries instead of relying on just one. I trust the Prime Minister to do this, and I do not think the Conservative leader can.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is absolutely correct. The reality is that we live in a world right now that we could not have predicted two years ago. We are responding to the uncertainties in that world and laying the framework and the groundwork to have a stronger economy that is not reliant on one particular trading partner but that can be diverse throughout the world. I have full confidence in the Prime Minister’s ability to do that. I think it is glaringly obvious to Canadians that the alternative in the Leader of the Opposition just does not measure up.”
