Mr. Speaker, just one year ago, the Prime Minister was telling everybody who would listen that he would get a trade deal with the Americans by last July. He set the deadline. He made that commitment. Now, the Prime Minister has surrendered as tariffs on steel have doubled, tariffs on lumber have tripled, and the tariffs on manufacturers got bigger. The workers and job creators in my community now know that the Prime Minister's promises were more empty words from just another Liberal politician.
He says our relationship with the U.S. is a weakness, but is the real weakness not the Prime Minister's constant over-promising and underdelivering when it comes to U.S.-Canada trade?
