Dominic LeBlanc Liberal
“We worked with businesses, unions, and the Quebec government to get a trade deal that protects Canadian interests and culture. The Conservatives would have taken any deal. They will not stand up for Canadian workers and businesses, but we will.”
“Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, we worked with businesses in Quebec. We were constantly working with union representatives from Quebec, with the Government of Quebec. We worked with business people from across the country because we wanted an agreement that is in Canada’s best economic interest, to strengthen Canada’s economic and cultural sovereignty. We know that the Conservatives would have taken any old deal. Now we see that they do not want to fight for our workers, that they do not want to defend the Canadian industries that are under attack. We do, however, and that is exactly what we are going to do.”
