Mr. Speaker, we now know why President Trump wanted this Prime Minister in power so badly. He wanted a weak leader whose pro-tax and anti-development policies are sending billions of dollars and jobs to the United States.
Yesterday, the Prime Minister promised President Trump $1 trillion over the next five years if we get the agreement that we think we are going to get. He is going to drive investment out of Canada, causing mills, mines and plants in Canada to close downs. Families will lose their jobs.
Did the Prime Minister get an end to the tariffs on softwood lumber in exchange for this gift?
