“I support what our government is doing. We need to trade with more countries than just the U.S., build big infrastructure, and make life more affordable. American tariffs are hurting our auto industry, and we must keep supporting this sector through the damage.”
“Mr. Speaker, what I would like to say is that I actually believe the things that I just said, that it is very good news and that we are moving in a positive direction. If I were prime minister, what would I do? I would diversify trade from the U.S. I would build major projects in infrastructure in Canada. I would work to address the affordability issues. All of the things our government is doing are the things I would do myself. The member raised the issue of EVs, and of course, everything I think about EVs has been clear on the public record for years and years, but the automotive sector has been super hard hit by these unjustified tariffs from the U.S. The President in the south’s idea is to take apart the supply chain. I am old enough to remember when the supply chain was first put together. This is going to be punishment that we will have to support industry through for quite a while.”
