“Conservatives do not talk about American tariffs. We are dealing with this trade war by protecting Canadian companies like Telesat. Canada needs to control its own satellites to stay independent.”
“Mr. Speaker, in the House, there are two philosophies that are contradicting themselves. First, the Conservatives are never talking about the American tariffs. Then there is us dealing with the impacts of a trade war, knowing that Canadian companies are key to our sovereignty and the protection of our people. That is Telesat. That is a company we need to protect. Why? It is because we need to have sovereign capability when it comes to satellites in this country.”
