Mr. Speaker, please allow me to extend my best wishes for 2026 to you and all my colleagues.
I would also like to share some of the very real concerns I have for Quebec and Canadian businesses and for jobs in Quebec and Canada. A speech, in and of itself, does not generate money. It does not create jobs, nor does it protect jobs. I gather that there are no negotiations happening with the Americans on trade or on the tariffs, even though President Trump is the cause of our worst concerns.
Can the Prime Minister guarantee that normal, cordial negotiations are happening with Washington?
