Mélanie Joly Liberal
“Our response is not about pride. Canada must stand united against the White House, which is trying to weaken our economy and make us dependent on the United States. We are protecting steel jobs, and I want to work with the opposition to do that.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to reassure my colleague that this is not about pride. I think he should have thought about his question before asking it. Everyone across the country needs to be united in standing up to the White House, which is basically trying to make us more dependent on the United States and weaken our economy. I would like my colleague to know that I would be pleased to work with him to protect jobs in the steel sector. We are already doing that, but we can always use more help from the opposition.”
