Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. The Bloc Québécois did not negotiate with President Trump.
However, we did reach an agreement with the Deputy Prime Minister, whom we managed to convince. I want to remind my esteemed colleague that the Bloc Québécois asked countless questions in the House to make the point that aluminum could come from China, be processed a bit in Mexico and be considered to have been made here. For weeks and weeks, the government refused to recognize that aluminum did not have the same level of protection as steel. Even Jean Simard, the spokesperson for the aluminum industry, eventually acknowledged in committee that aluminum did not have the same protection as steel.
That is what the Bloc Québécois accomplished by asking questions and making speeches. We persevered because we wanted to protect our people.
