Mr. Speaker, it is hard to find logic, but let us talk about trade and tariffs, as the member pointed out.
We understand our geography better than most. Windsor sits right across from Detroit. Our economies do not just neighbour each other; they depend on each other. We cannot wish that away, nor should we want to. We share roads, railways, rivers and generations of family. We are related by blood, actually. Businesses and labourers cross the border daily.
Partnerships require respect, not just handshakes and photo ops. That means standing up for our industries when they are under threat. It means negotiating from strength, not just sentiment. Canada must approach the United States with the full awareness that while we are the smaller partner in size, we are not small in value, principle or purpose. We are seriously talking about building a 21st-century North American economy, whether with EVs, energy or steel. It is time we acted like real partners, not pushovers.
