“The Prime Minister failed in trade talks with the Americans and hurt our steel industry. High tariffs now put over 3,000 jobs at risk in Beauce, and 350 steel workers have already lost their jobs. I want the Prime Minister to take real action to protect these workers instead of making empty promises.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Prime Minister failed in the trade talks with the Americans. The Liberals have completely abandoned Canada’s steel industry. Today, steel is being hit with tariffs of up to 100%. In Beauce alone, that represents over 3,000 jobs that are at risk. Just ask the 350 Stelco employees who lost their jobs. We are talking about 350 jobs that have been lost. That is the result of Liberal inaction. Steel workers and their families are worried. When will the Prime Minister reassure them by taking action rather than making empty promises?”

“Liberal policies are driving up costs for businesses in my riding. Local companies are facing millions of dollars in extra expenses. Conservatives want to help these businesses save money, and the government should stop making things harder for them.”

“Mr. Speaker, businesses in the Beauce region have nothing to learn from Liberal ministers. The only thing more costly than a tariff is a Liberal minister who thinks they know more about business than entrepreneurs do. That is what is really costly. While they do nothing more than talk, operating costs are skyrocketing. Take Structure SBL, for example, which is facing an additional $4 million in costs. Camnor is facing an additional $1.5 million in costs per month. Conservatives want to help companies save money. Why are the Liberals doing the opposite?”
