Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's illusions tactic and excuses are no help to Canadians. Instead of getting a trade deal last July, as he promised, he squandered his leverage with concessions made 10 months ago. He does not even show up to do his job, while Mexico makes progress ahead of him.
Why did the Liberal Prime Minister make the strategic error of dragging this out instead of using the leverage we had at the beginning of the talks to get tariffs removed on Canadian goods?
