Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister once said that he was a master negotiator who could secure a deal with President Trump by July. He failed, and now he shrugs it off, saying, “Who cares?” and that he does not have a burning issue to speak with the President about.
I can help the Prime Minister. New Brunswickers care, because 93% of our exports go to the U.S. The longer this issue goes unresolved, the more uncertainty there is for New Brunswick's forestry workers. Say “Who cares?” to the people who live in Florenceville-Bristol, in Plaster Rock or in Nackawic. They certainly do care, and they want a government that responds.
When will the Prime Minister secure a resolution and meet with our closest neighbour and customer?
