Mr. Speaker, at the core of this issue is the fact that the United States is taking a protectionist approach to its economy. The United States of America is no longer interested in free trade as it used to be. There is this notion that somehow Conservatives are going to change everything that Donald Trump has stood for in the last year. He has put tariffs on just about every country in the world.
How can the member, in good conscience, stand in the House and suggest that if we suddenly pivot to an idea that the Leader of the Opposition based on what we did in the 1960s, suddenly Donald Trump is going to say, actually, yes, this will be the one exception where he does not want tariffs anymore?
