Tom Osborne Liberal
“The United States put unfair trade fees on us this past year. We are strengthening our economy by building things with Canadian materials and workers, and by finding new trading partners. The Conservatives should help us build the country instead of saying our economy is doing poorly.”
“Madam Speaker, what has happened in the last year is that our largest trading partner has put in unfair tariffs against this country. The Conservatives try to pretend that did not happen. The largest impact would be on the largest trading partner, but we have planted the seeds of a stronger economy. We are building Canada strong and building more infrastructure in Canada using Canadian materials and Canadian labour, with more trading partners. Let us allow those seeds to bear fruit. Instead of talking down the Canadian economy, the Conservatives should join us in building Canada strong.”
