“We are in an unfair trade war that we did not start. Canada must fight back with trade rules to protect our workers and businesses, and we will not apologize for it. The opposition needs to stop blaming Canada for this fight.”
“I hope in this session of Parliament, Mr. Speaker, we will not see this pattern re-emerge. Let us call it the “blame Canada” pattern by the hissy fit brigade. We are in a trade war. We did not provoke this trade war. This trade war is illegal and unjustified. Canada, a sovereign country, will stand up and take the trade and other measures that are required to protect our people, our industries and our workers. We will never apologize for that. The blame Canada brigade should sit right down.”
