Mr. Speaker, since the U.S. tariffs were imposed, Canadian exports have nosedived by more than 15% and jobs are disappearing across the country. The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has confirmed that Chinese steel is being dumped in Canada, directly harming our workers.

During the last election campaign, the Prime Minister said he was the only one who could deal with Donald Trump. Canadians, however, are struggling to pay their bills and now they are losing their jobs.
Why did he make a promise that he has a hard time keeping?
