“The United States put illegal tariffs on Canada that break our trade deal. We must put our own tariffs on them to protect Canadian workers and businesses. We will also give support to the workers and companies harmed by these trade rules.”
“Mr. Speaker, perhaps what our colleague fails to realize is that countertariffs are also essential to protect Canadian workers and Canadian businesses that are facing, from the United States, tariffs that are unjustified, illegal and not in compliance with CUSMA. Our colleague pretends what? Is it that we should not have taken measures to support Canadian industries and Canadian workers? Countertariffs are part of the measures that our government is implementing, and we are also going to support businesses and workers to get through this circumstance, as any responsible government should.”
