“We are working with the provinces and territories to protect Canadian workers and industries from unfair American tariffs. We are also building major projects to strengthen our economy, just as voters asked us to do.”

“Mr. Speaker, as my colleagues clearly explained, our government is working to protect the industries and workers who are facing unjustified tariffs from the United States. We are, of course, doing this with our partners in the provinces and territories. In last year’s election, Canadians gave us a mandate to build a more resilient economy and to pursue major projects for Canada’s economic future. That is exactly what we are doing across the country. Canadians are proud of the Prime Minister’s work.”

“All members of Parliament should work with the government to fight American tariffs. We want to work with the opposition to protect Canadian workers and businesses.”

“Mr. Speaker, every parliamentarian can help the government and Canadians support industries and workers and come together to counter the tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. We are always looking for positive contributions from members of Parliament across the House of Commons and at the other place. We are always happy to work with the member who asked this question, as well as with all of his colleagues in the opposition, because we are here to support Canadians.”

“Unfair American tariffs are hurting our economy. We are protecting Canadians by uniting our own economy, trading with new countries, and building major projects like high-speed rail and better ports.”

“Mr. Speaker, I think Canadians know why. They are well aware that Canada’s economy is one of the most highly integrated with the American economy and that we are facing headwinds and disruptions because of the illegal and unjustified tariffs imposed by the Americans. That being said, the reason Canadians chose this government is because a lot of things remain within our control. For example, we can build one Canadian economy. That could potentially add $215 billion to the GDP. That is what we are doing. We can build major projects. Examples that come to mind include high-speed rail between Quebec City and Toronto, expanded port infrastructure and market diversification. That is exactly what we are doing to support Canadians.”

“Our economy relies a lot on the United States, but we are selling more to other countries. Over the past year, our sales to countries other than the U.S. went up by almost 40 percent. This is happening because we are signing trade and security deals around the world.”

“Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my previous response, the Canadian economy is far more integrated with that of the United States. However, here is what I have noted when looking at the past year. As a result of government initiatives and efforts made by Canadians, we have increased our non‑U.S. exports by nearly 40% over the past year. That is a major shift. It is because we are signing trade agreements, security agreements and agreements on critical minerals around the world. That is what Canadians expect. That is exactly what we are doing.”

“Our programs are helping Canadians with food and daily costs. We are creating jobs and bringing in business. Despite what other members say, our plan is working and Canadians support us.”

“Mr. Speaker, “it is not working”. We hear that every day: “It is not working”. However, in La Presse a few weeks ago, journalist Marie‑Eve Fournier quoted a research chair who said that it is working. The Canada groceries and essentials benefit is working. Food Banks Canada says that it is working. We are working to help Canadians in their everyday lives. We are working to create jobs. That is true in my hon. colleague’s riding. We are attracting investors. It is working. Just because other members say that it is not working does not mean that, in reality, Canadians are not behind us. They are there, and they support us.”
