Mr. Speaker, it took then-Prime Minister Harper only 80 days to get a softwood lumber deal that put an end to the tariffs and we were reimbursed what was already collected.
Then the Liberal Prime Minister capitulated, allowed Trump to reimpose the tariffs and Biden to double them. Harper got us an exemption to buy America. The Prime Minister then capitulated and allowed Trump and Biden to reimpose them, hurting our construction workers and our providers of steel.
Why can we not have a carbon tax election so that we can have a prime minister who no longer capitulates to the Americans but instead will stand up for Canada?
