"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5582625\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government continues to defend the indefensible by repeating that the agreement signed with Mexico and the United States is a good agreement for our country when that is clearly not the case.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582626\" data-originallang=\"fr\">As a member from Quebec, I believe the Liberal government failed in its duty, which was to negotiate the elimination of the surtaxes on steel and aluminum. As a result, our Canadian products will remain less competitive than those of the American industries.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582627\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is completely unacceptable that the government signed this agreement when President Trump only imposed those surtaxes on our products to force Canada to open negotiations on milk. The Liberal government agreed to open those negotiations without imposing any conditions, and thus agreed to allow the United States to maintain its surtaxes on steel and aluminum. In my opinion, this agreement demonstrates the Liberals' incompetence\u2014</p>",

Nos produits canadiens resteront donc moins concurrentiels par rapport \u00e0 ceux des industries am\u00e9ricaines. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5582627\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il est tout \u00e0 fait inacceptable que ce gouvernement ait sign\u00e9 cet accord alors que le pr\u00e9sident Trump avait ajout\u00e9 cette surtaxe sur nos produits pour que le Canada ouvre la n\u00e9gociation sur le lait. Il a accept\u00e9 de le faire sans condition, en acceptant ainsi de conserver la surtaxe am\u00e9ricaine sur l'acier et l'aluminium. Cet accord, pour moi, \u00e9gale l'incomp\u00e9tence des lib\u00e9raux \u00e0... </p>"
