“We are making sure Stelco keeps its promises. If nothing happens in 15 days, we will take legal action to protect Canadian workers and the steel industry.”

“Mr. Speaker, that is precisely what we are doing. We are making sure that Stelco respects its commitments under the Investment Canada Act. We are following the process. In 15 days, if nothing happens, legal action will be taken. Our aim has always been to protect Canadian workers and the Canadian industry. That is what we have been doing, and that is what we will continue to do.”

“We did not ask for this. We are responding to an attack from the U.S. government. We are protecting Canadian workers and businesses. That is why the Prime Minister travels to sign trade deals, so our economy has more partners and our industries stay strong.”

“Mr. Speaker, let us try to make some sense out of all this. First of all, we never asked for this. Second of all, we are responding to an attack from the U.S. administration. Our aim is to protect Canadian workers and to protect Canadian industries. We will always do that. That is also why the Prime Minister goes abroad sometimes and signs trade deals to diversify our economy so we can protect our industrial base.”

“We just announced over $8 billion with Ontario to support steel, car, and mineral jobs. The Conservatives should stop talking down our workers and help us keep jobs in Canada.”

“Mr. Speaker, I am afraid the member was missing in action yesterday. We just announced with the Government of Ontario more than $8 billion to support a number of sectors in Ontario: our steel sector, our brave men and women who work in the automotive industry and those boosting our critical minerals. Instead of talking our workers and our industry down, why does he not support the government and work with us to make sure that we keep jobs in Canada and grow our industry and make sure that we build Canada strong together?”

“I have already answered this question. The Conservatives should join us, Ontario, and the premier in protecting our steel and car workers. They should support our mining investments in northern Ontario instead of criticizing them.”

“Mr. Speaker, the question has been asked and answered, but I will ask a question. Why is it that this opposition party cannot stand with Canadians, the Province of Ontario and the premier, as we have, to protect steel workers, to protect the steel industry, to protect the automotive industry and, yes, to invest in the Ring of Fire in northern Ontario? I know the member of Parliament for Kenora has written about the Ring of Fire. Why are they not applauding that investment? Why are they not applauding the kind of critical mineral exploration and development that our country needs? It is appalling.”

“The Prime Minister and the Premier of Ontario agreed to invest in our companies. This money will help them make steel for car makers and critical mineral projects. The opposition keeps complaining, but we are supporting workers.”

“Mr. Speaker, I have some good news for workers in Cambridge and all across Ontario. The Premier of Ontario and the Prime Minister stood together yesterday and said that they were going to control the things they can control. One of the things we can control is investing in our companies to make sure they can produce steel for the automotive sector, for the critical industries that are powering our nation and, yes, for the critical mineral sector in northern Ontario. Guess what. We believe in doing things. The opposition is going to stand up and complain time and again, but we are going to stand up for workers.”

“We listen to industry when it tells us what it needs to support Canadian workers. We are working with Ontario to build roads to the Ring of Fire because northern Ontario asked for fast action.”

“Mr. Speaker, when industry speaks and tells the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario what kinds of supports they need, we listen. We listen, because we know we can actually pivot these industries and support Canadian workers. When northern Ontario puts its hand up and says it wants to be part of the solution and wants faster action on the Ring of Fire, we partner with Ontario. We build those roads. That is what we are doing. We are working hard every day for Canadian workers, and that is how we stand together as a country.”

“The Conservatives have given up. We focus on what we can actually do. We invest in the steel, aluminum, car, and mineral industries when they and Ontario ask for help. We support workers and protect their jobs. The Conservatives just vote against workers and criticize the provinces.”

“Mr. Speaker, the only thing I hear in the House of Commons today is the members of Parliament from the Conservative Party who have clearly given up. We are not chasing after things that we actually cannot bring to fruition. We are working on the things we can control. When the Premier of Ontario, the aluminum industry, the steel industry, the automotive industry and the critical mineral industry say this is what we need, we invest in those industries. We invest in the workforce that we need. We support workers when their jobs are at risk. All I see from these guys is them voting against Canadians, voting against workers, criticizing provinces and—”
