Mélanie Joly Liberal
“Even with a tariff war with the U.S., we are still creating jobs. We opened a new green aluminum plant in Quebec and invested $100 million in cleaner aluminum technology.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Brome—Missisquoi for his important question. We know that Canada’s economy is one of those most closely integrated with the U.S. economy, not to mention that we are also in the midst of a tariff war. Despite that, investments are being made in sectors affected by tariffs. In fact, last Friday, together with Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette, we inaugurated AP60, Rio Tinto’s new plant in Saguenay that will produce the world’s greenest aluminum. We have also invested $100 million in ELYSIS, the latest in carbon-neutral aluminum technology. Simply put, we are capable of creating jobs even in the current tariff environment.”
