Business of Supply
A Bloc Québécois supply day motion about American tariffs on Canadian goods, particularly metals, forestry products and other sectors, and how the government should respond. The Bloc argued the tariffs are hurting workers and small businesses, said loan programs are too slow and leave businesses taking on debt they cannot afford, and called for measures like wage subsidies, faster duty refunds, and better information for businesses. Liberals said they agree with condemning the tariffs and pointed to $1.5 billion in support for affected companies, easier access to employment insurance, trade diversification such as new agricultural exports to Mexico, and continued negotiations to secure a good deal with the United States. Conservatives focused on the impact of tariffs on sectors like steel, aluminum, lumber and auto parts, asked which tariffs had actually been removed, suggested using Canada’s energy and mineral resources as leverage in negotiations, and raised cost-of-living concerns in their ridings.Written by AI from the debate.
