“Why won't the Prime Minister do what I want? He should do what Europe does. He shouldn't help Americans. I don't like his choices.”

During Oral Questions, the Bloc Quebecois criticized the Prime Minister and Liberals on various topics, accusing them of not standing up to the US and Europe on pipelines, pesticides, and digital services taxes, while the Liberals defended their record and attacked the Bloc for not supporting Quebec businesses and culture.
“You say I'm not doing enough for Europe. But I am! See, I like Europe's high-speed rail. Canada should spend lots of money on high-speed rail too. High-speed rail is good for Quebec. Why doesn't the Bloc want high-speed rail anymore?”
“You say nice words but your actions are bad. You do things that are bad for the environment. You do things that Europe doesn't like. Your actions don't match your words.”
“Why are you attacking Quebec jobs? This big train will create many jobs in Quebec. I want the jobs. The train is very big. It will make us lots of money. You should not give up.”
“The Prime Minister is not standing up to the United States. He should tax tech giants and Netflix like Europe and Australia do. But he is not. Canada is pulling out. This threatens Quebec culture. The Prime Minister is selling his soul to please Donald Trump.”
“The Bloc accused us of threatening Quebec culture. But they didn't vote for our budget that gave $700 million to culture! They don't really care about culture. They just want to complain. And they think Canada isn't friends with Europe. But everyone else knows we are friends with Europe.”
