“The Prime Minister says these tariffs hurt our economy, but also says we can wait two more years to deal with them. Both cannot be true. These tariffs are already hurting steelworkers, lumber towns, and millions of families. I want him to clearly state his plan today instead of playing politics.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister blames this economy on the president’s tariffs, and then turns around and says that we can wait the president out for another two and a half years. Both cannot be true. These tariffs are either serious enough that he walked away from negotiations and left Canadians to absorb the costs, or mild enough to wait it out until 2029. He should tell that to the steelworker whose shift was cut, tell that to the lumber town for which the mill was the town and tell that to the two million families living with uncertainty. Will he pick a lane today, or will he keep exploiting the pain of our people for by-election politics?”
