Business of Supply
The House debated a Bloc Québécois opposition motion condemning new U.S. tariffs, in force since April 6, 2026, on products containing steel, aluminum and copper, and calling for direct grants, wage support and other help for affected businesses and workers rather than loans. Bloc members said businesses are already too indebted, that tariff revenues should go back to affected sectors, and criticized the government’s focus on pipelines and oil. Liberal members pointed to about $1.5 billion in support through the Business Development Bank and regional agencies, market diversification including a 31% rise in exports to Europe in 2025, and said negotiations with the U.S. need time to reach a good deal. Conservative members said the Prime Minister has not secured a trade deal or a plan as tariffs rise, argued for building pipelines and major projects, and urged direct negotiation with the United States. Some members also raised forestry sector difficulties and conditions in their own ridings.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
