Unlike the <a data-HoCid=\"322132\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">Leader of the Opposition</a>, we are not going to sign whatever agreement the Americans might suggest. We are going to sign an agreement that benefits Canadian workers and the Canadian economy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8945779\" data-originallang=\"en\">At the same time, we are going to build in Canada, we are going to invest in Canada and we are going to support workers and Canadian businesses.</p>",

Contrairement \u00e0 ce que voudrait le <a data-HoCid=\"322132\" href=\"/politicians/pierre-poilievre/\" title=\"Pierre Poilievre\">chef de l'opposition</a>, nous n'allons pas signer n'importe quel accord que les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis pourraient proposer. Nous allons signer un accord qui profite aux travailleurs canadiens et \u00e0 l'\u00e9conomie canadienne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8945779\" data-originallang=\"en\">De plus, nous allons faire construire des choses au Canada, nous allons investir au Canada et nous allons soutenir les travailleurs et les entreprises canadiennes.</p>"
