Mr. Speaker, we will always defend our steel and aluminum workers. We have done so in the past and we will continue to do so, going forward. As the member opposite knows full well, the tariffs that have been imposed by the Americans are completely unacceptable. They are unwarranted. That is why we are working with industry and we are working with workers to determine the best path forward. Again, make no mistake about it: we will always defend our workers in the aluminum and steel sectors.
