Mr. Speaker, his approach was dumb. It was dumb to let the Americans reimpose buy America rules that Harper had gotten lifted. It was dumb to let Trump impose softwood lumber tariffs that Biden has now doubled. What is dumb, dumber and dumbest of all is imposing a 61ยข-a-litre carbon tax that will force our trucking companies, our factories and our mines to head south of the border into the arms of President Trump.
We know why he wants to create American jobs with Canadian money, but why does the Prime Minister want to help him?
