Mr. Chair, the member opposite referred to handouts, which is more printed money. It only makes inflation rise, costs rise and the problems worse. It does not solve the problem.
I do agree that diversification is part of the solution, but ultimately the solution is negotiating a deal and getting rid of the 45% tariffs. Europe has 10% tariffs. Those are actual solutions that would save an industry that is dying. Handouts will not achieve that.
Therefore, no, I did not vote for a budget that will not work.
