“The U.S. is raising tariffs to levels not seen since the Great Depression. Canadians want us to find new trade partners and spend money on big projects and workers. I want the other parties to support these investments with us.”
“Mr. Speaker, as I said, British Columbians see that we are facing headwinds caused by geopolitical events and tariffs. The U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising tariffs to levels that have not been seen since the Great Depression. Canadians want to see the steps that we are taking to address this. They want to see the diversification of trade. They want to see us invest in major projects, and they want to see us invest in Canadian workers. Why can our colleagues not join with us to make these investments?”
