Mr. Speaker, it was interesting to listen to the member talk about the challenge we have with the potential of 25% tariffs being imposed on Canada, because it is kind of like Groundhog Day. The member might not know this, but in 2018, the United States slapped section 232 tariffs on Canada: 25% for steel and 10% for aluminum.
Some people may be wondering why I would bring this up. What does it have to do with 25% tariffs today? The real problem then was the border. Just as President-elect Trump has said, the problem now is the border. In 2018, Chinese steel was coming into Canada, going down into the United States and taking out American steel. It became such a problem that the then president of the United States imposed a 25% tariff. We are now going to have it on everything because of the complete mismanagement of the border yet again.
Why should Canadians trust the Liberals to get anything right when they have gotten everything wrong in this relationship?
