“The Liberals say nice things about building major projects. But they make laws that stop us from building pipelines. The United States is approving energy infrastructure very fast. But the Liberals make it so companies don't want to build things here. No major projects got approved in the last year. How can the Prime Minister negotiate with the Americans when he refuses to build the things that would give us leverage?”

A motion from the Bloc Québécois condemning new U.S. tariffs on Canadian products containing steel, aluminum or copper. The Bloc accused the Liberal government of not doing enough to fight the tariffs and protect jobs. The Liberals defended their response and efforts to diversify trade. The Conservatives criticized the government's handling of the file, saying they were all talk but haven't gotten results.
“Liberals spent a lot on programs. Now we have fewer jobs. What did Canadians get for all that spending?”
“I don't want to talk about the oil industry. Let's get back to manufacturing and tariffs. London—Fanshawe manufacturers are complaining to me about the tariffs. The Liberals aren't saying when they'll finish negotiations. Does the Bloc think the Prime Minister should give a specific end date for the tariff negotiations?”
