Mr. Chair, my colleague is right that we have been working hard. We have been meeting all kinds of people to allay their fears. However, I can say that there is a lot of anxiety and a lot of despair. There are a lot of missed opportunities as well. The talks are going on, but there are no contracts being signed, because there is a great deal of uncertainty about the trade deals we can negotiate with our partners globally, not just with the U.S. It happens all the time now, unfortunately.
What do we have to show for it? We have a Prime Minister who says, “Who cares?” or that it is not a burning issue. The folks in my city take that to the bank, because that is the uncertainty they are dealing with, and it is not something they are happy about. It might have sounded like a clever statement to make, but what the people of Windsor heard loud and clear is that the Prime Minister does not care about them. Conservatives are here to hold him accountable and to make sure he understands that Windsor matters.
