Mr. Speaker, I promise if the government was listening, we would not have signed this deal.
Remember when the Prime Minister stood in Hamilton and said that Liberals would have the backs of Canadian steel workers. Where I come from, having their back does not mean signing a deal that could sell out 6,000 Canadian jobs.
Sacrifices made in the USMCA will hurt our steel and aluminum workers, and the Liberals failed to get any assurances that the U.S. would lift steel and aluminum tariffs before they signed the deal.
Do members know who the middle class is? It is steel and aluminum workers.
How can this Prime Minister turn his back on them?
