Mr. Chair, I would say that our government's guiding principle from day one has been perfectly clear: We were elected to strengthen the Canadian economy and make it more resilient. That means diversifying our markets. It means supporting key sectors of the Canadian economy. It means providing targeted support for the sectors hardest hit by U.S. tariffs.
I would remind the House that we did not ask for this tariff conflict. These tariffs are completely unjustified and illegal. Nevertheless, they exist, and our government is determined to help the hardest-hit sectors, including the automotive sector. We created a strategic response fund offering billions of dollars to help businesses and workers, because our government understands that, in order to have a strong economy, we must support all sectors of the Canadian economy and all Canadian workers.
