Mr. Speaker, small and medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs and workers across Quebec and the rest of Canada are glad we have signed this agreement with the United States. All the same, as I told steel and aluminum workers when I visited their plants, our government will protect them.
Canada's countermeasures will remain in place until the unfair steel and aluminum tariffs are lifted.
Throughout the negotiations, our goal was always to create conditions that will help grow the middle class and provide more benefits to Canadians.
We will keep working to protect our workers.
