“The Conservatives claim Canada's economy is falling apart, even though experts disagree. This hurts Canada and helps the United States in trade talks. I want to know what the member thinks about this.”
“Mr. Speaker, how does the member perceive the reaction in trade negotiations when the opposition is proposing that Canada is in a gloomy position, while most economists and experts are not positioning it that way at all? The Conservatives are positioning this as though Canada is in the midst of a tremendous downfall, when in fact it is the opposite, but that is giving leverage and strength to the United States in trade discussions. Can the member comment, please?”
