Madam Speaker, for all those who are watching, the Prime Minister ran an election predicated on the biggest impediment to Canada's growing economy: U.S. trade tariffs. We heard him say that he does not care.
I want those who are watching at home to know that Conservatives care. The Conservatives care about the job losses in the auto sector from Windsor to Oshawa and everywhere in between. They care about the tariffs that have now tripled on steel and aluminum. They care about the jobs in the forestry sector. There is one party in the House that cares, and that is the Conservative Party. I want Canadians to know we are never going to write off the relationship with the U.S. in an “I don't care”, nonchalant moment. That is not what a leader does. It is not what a leader should do.
