Mr. Speaker, I look forward to taking the member's question. Maybe the hon. member can rise in his place and tell me if he thinks that London, Europe and our other allies have no measures to be able to do it. We actually have a solution. It is QNX in this country. We have an ability to manage this as it relates to the 49,000 EVs from China on the import.
Having been on the front lines of that negotiation, I can say that it is a small, managed amount. It is working to lead to a joint venture investment. Companies are already investing in the member's home province. I guess he should rise and tell us if he believes that a joint venture format with a majority Canadian-owned pathway is bad for the country. We have seen other examples where it has worked. At the end of the day, that is the pathway that we think we can continue to work on within the North American context.
At the same time, we have to be able to look at what other opportunities are available. The member should go have a chat with all his prairie colleagues on the other side, because I guess he is suggesting that we ought to not do anything on agriculture for our farmers in this country. How about the seafood harvesters from Atlantic Canada? Should we just tell them that they ought to not have market access to the largest consumer market in the world? The opposition day motion would say that.
I think the Conservatives from Saskatchewan should have something to say to their colleagues who are suggesting that this would be bad public policy. The Premier of Saskatchewan does not agree, the Premier of Alberta does not agree and farmers across this country do not agree.
