Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister ran on “elbows up”, promising dollar-for-dollar tariffs on the U.S. and that this would generate $20 billion in revenue. It turns out it was actually elbows down when the Prime Minister broke his promise and secretly cancelled those tariffs. Now Trump is threatening 50% tariffs on Canadian steel, which will devastate Canada's steel industry and put thousands of steelworkers out of their jobs.
Can the Prime Minister look steelworkers in the eye, tell them it was actually elbows down and how much money his tariffs will actually generate?
