“We will not rush into a bad trade deal with the Americans like the Conservatives would. We will only sign a deal when it is good for our workers, our economy, and our country.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think our colleague on the other side of the House is confusing our government with the weak-kneed approach of the Conservative Party in dealing with the Americans. We know they would have accepted any deal at any time to just get a deal that would not be in the interest of Canadian workers, the Canadian economy or the sovereignty of our country. We are going to do that difficult work that is necessary to protect our economy, and when that deal is available we will accept it.”
