“New trade barriers will cost our economy and 185,000 jobs. The Prime Minister promised to get a trade deal with the United States. I want to know when he will keep that promise.”

“Mr. Speaker, the PBO announced the financial impacts of the Canada-U.S. trade measures, yet unfortunately, successive barriers since 2025 will result in a 1.4% GDP net loss. To make matters worse, if those barriers remain, 185,000 Canadians will lose their jobs. The Prime Minister promised to get a deal for Canadians. When will he make good on his promise and get a deal?”

“The Prime Minister cannot replace our one trillion dollars in trade with the U.S. His new deals only equal one percent of that trade, and Canadians cannot live on that. I want him to do his job and get a good deal.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is trying to convince Canadians that he can replace a trillion dollars’ worth of trade between Canada and the U.S., yet up to this point, his hard deals only represent 1% of trade between Canada and the U.S. in 2025. Canadians cannot live on 1% of previous trade revenue, so why does the Prime Minister not just do his job and get a good deal for Canadians?”

“Mariposa Dairy supports 200 goat farms and sells $60 million in cheese to the U.S. each year. Now U.S. tariffs cost them $4.5 million a month, which could destroy Canada's goat dairy industry. What exactly is the government doing to get them relief before it is too late?”

“Mr. Speaker, Mariposa Dairy in Lindsay supports 200 Ontario dairy goat farms and exports more than $60 million a year in cheese to the United States. Because of U.S. tariffs, the company is being hit with a $4.5-million bill every month. It has warned that without an immediate solution, the entire Canadian dairy goat industry will be decimated. What specifically is the government doing to secure relief for Mariposa Dairy before it is too late?”

“Mariposa Dairy warned the government a year ago that tariffs could ruin the goat dairy industry. The company is taking on more debt while it waits for help. I want the government to commit today to a plan that keeps these farmers and workers in business.”

“Mr. Speaker, Mariposa Dairy has been warning the government about this threat since March 2025. It told Ottawa then that tariffs could devastate the Canadian agricultural industry when it comes to dairy goats. On one hand, the Liberals are saying they are here for workers, yet after a year of waiting, time is running out as the company takes on more and more debt. Will the government commit today to securing a solution that will keep these farmers and workers in business?”
