Mr. Chair, it is not the Government of Canada that broke the relationship with the Americans, a relationship that has been enduring since the auto pact, a relationship where there are contracts, agreements, the USMCA. There may have been trade winds, but there was certainly no indication that this was going to be an issue in this moment. The member opposite likes to talk about responding to the context, but we have to acknowledge that we are in a specific context right now that I do not know was necessarily foreseeable 10 years ago.
In the House of Commons on December 3rd, 2025. See this statement in context.
