Mr. Speaker, whether it is our forestry, aluminum, steel or automotive industry here in Canada, these industries are of great concern to the federal government. That is one of the reasons why, through tariffs and monitoring these industries, we have come up with re-skilling programs to direct financial support.
What I want to pick up on is the member's comments with respect to the issue of the three Ts: the Trump, tariff and trade issue. The Prime Minister made a commitment to expand trade going outside the United States, and we have been exceptionally successful at doing that.
With regard to an agreement with the United States, we currently do have an agreement. We are prepared to sit down and continue negotiations in good faith to protect the interests of Canadians, but we are not prepared to capitulate. I think it is important that we persist and that we push for the best deal we can for Canadians.
