Mr. Speaker, he said, “and negotiate a deal with the United States.” He repeats the same promise that the Prime Minister has been breaking for the last eight months.
He said he would have a deal by July 21; there is no deal. He said he would negotiate a win; there is no win. He said he would not back down; all he has done is back down. He said he would be elbows up; his elbows are missing. Now when he is asked about the fate of the thousands of jobs that rely on him keeping his word, he says, “Who cares?”
Is it not clear by now that just days after he met the President, only Brookfield got the $80-billion deal? Is that what he meant when he promised he would negotiate a win?
