Mr. Speaker, the member is hitting on something really important about how the Conservatives would be approaching this situation versus the Liberals.
The Liberals look at the economy like it is a big switchboard that they get to control, and if they just turn this knob, pick this industry and dump billions of taxpayer dollars here, or maybe here, but not over there, they will create a prosperous environment. As I outlined, and as many economists have outlined, the Liberals' approach to the economy does not work. We have just seen more of the same in the Liberal lip service toward productivity and a few tweaks around the margins for the business sector.
What we would be doing as Conservatives would be to look at how we would create the most business-friendly environment in the world, have companies choose Canada to create all their goods and services and make it so that companies can expand their manufacturing businesses here so that it is more competitive and more efficient to do so than in the U.S. That would be our number one focus during this trade war. Unfortunately, we are not seeing that.
