00:00:20.380Maybe Canadian citizens are doing that, individuals are going around trying to buy as much Canadian as possible.
00:00:26.020But since Prime Minister Mark Carney became Prime Minister, the amount of contracting to American companies has gone up a lot.
00:00:35.900And with our new major projects that the Major Projects Office is apparently approving these days, many of them are not using Canadian resources to be built.
00:00:45.220They're using steel being dumped from China in order to be built.
00:00:49.420What are we doing? And the most baffling part is how Carney, in this exchange with Conservative Party leader Piripolyev, is caught completely off guard. He really didn't think that this could come up in question period. He might be asked a question about his massive hypocrisy on this issue.
00:01:07.740It was reported in the Toronto Star.0.99
00:01:11.640He didn't think that it might be live ammunition for the Conservative Party to go after him on being a massive elbows-down hypocrite?0.97
00:01:34.480But now, let's watch this QP exchange.
00:01:37.740the prime minister made a big show of promising to buy and build canadians but
00:01:44.320it was all talk and no results today an analysis by the toronto star demonstrated that he increased
00:01:51.320increase the amount destined for american companies to 7.8 billion dollars the share
00:01:59.200of the money that for government contracts that goes to the u.s is up 50 percent so why did the
00:02:06.420So we went from like around $5 billion in contracts for the Canadian government that go to American companies to $7.8 billion.
00:02:17.160Now, I'm not some sort of elbows up scold like Laura Babcock, who's going to get mad if the government does any contracting with the United States.
00:02:25.540I oppose the dumb booze bans in some of the provinces because it's just not a smart thing to fight over because we send them more alcohol than they send to us.
00:02:34.760So when Trump put his counter ban on us, it did a lot more damage than we were actually getting leverage for by doing it the other way.
00:02:43.180But, like, let's be clear, if you're in a trade conflict, it's not a rounding error in terms of the contracts being given to American companies.
00:02:53.280Isn't it a little suspicious that Mark Carney moves Brookfield down to New York City and a bunch of Canadian government contracts follows Brookfield into the United States as well?
00:03:03.800I would love to see an analysis of where all these contracts are going and if Brookfield is getting a piece of it all.0.95
00:08:02.480why is the prime minister sending our steel jobs to beijing like how did he walk into that one
00:08:09.500how is mark carney this caught off guard and you're going to notice he's going to start getting
00:08:13.640louder throughout this qp exchange because carney has some of the most obvious tells on the planet
00:08:18.580either he shotguns ums and ahs or his face really twists up with a look of derision or he gets
00:08:24.340really loud to try and kind of like i guess roll over those usual speed bumps in his language when
00:08:30.620he's caught off guard. So he's going to get really loud and really stoppy to make sure he
00:08:34.680doesn't um and ah. Mr. Speaker, I'm glad that the leader of opposition has brought up the second
00:08:44.520largest private sector investment in Canadian history. L&P Canada success story that will make
00:08:52.160this country more independent, more prosperous. A project that will have 15,000 tons of Canadian
00:09:00.400in the broader in the broader ecosystem mr speaker this this government is building
00:09:10.160the honorable leader of the opposition that wasn't nothing that was a nothing response like
00:09:15.920oh i'm happy the leader opposition brought up the second biggest investment in canadian history it's
00:09:20.800like okay yeah sure it's an investment that's great still years away by the way let's say if
00:09:26.560if Harper was still prime minister, or Scheer, even O'Toole, if those guys became prime minister,
00:09:33.000if Polly became prime minister, this stuff would have been approved faster and already been probably
00:09:37.100done if it was one of those guys who was a conservative party leader in, like, the,
00:09:41.540in, like, 2019, like, Andrew Scheer. Like, I always hate this idea that, like, guys, we've not
00:09:47.120eaten our own thumbs. We have, in fact, not set fire to our great forest intentionally. We have,
00:09:53.660in fact not uh not like blown up the port of vancouver now give me a medal put it to my chest
00:09:59.520i have done the most obvious thing on the planet way too late and way over cost and we're also
00:10:05.040going to use chinese steel so that's great our ecosystem mr speaker the principal supplier of
00:10:10.200steel for the project will again be china something we found out the very week that the legendary
00:10:17.180company Stelco announced that it was losing, it was going to be laying off 350 people and
00:10:24.860idling its plant in Hamilton. So the prime minister puts Canadian steel workers out of a job
00:10:31.580and grants a permit for Beijing to dump its artificially subsidized steel on Canadian soil.
00:10:38.580Why can't we build Canadian with Canadian steel? And the funny thing is that this is something,
00:10:44.140as he indicated, had to be permitted by Carney's liberals. They had to allow China to do this.
00:10:50.760This wasn't something where it was business as usual. This was not business as usual. In the
00:10:54.880middle of a time when Canadian steel companies cannot ship stuff to the United States because
00:10:59.360the tariffs are too high, it's not economical. They are being blocked from being able to provide
00:11:04.940their steel to Canadian projects, despite the fact that we're supposed to have this whole
00:11:09.360buy Canadian thing be our own best customer thing going on this whole elbows up thing you remember
00:11:15.780that thing yeah apparently that's not a thing anymore because Carney behind the scenes has
00:11:21.000just declared it not you know it's it's it's a big deal in front of tv cameras behind the scenes
00:11:26.30050 more American contractors and way more foreign steel replacing Canadian steel1.00
00:11:32.980like my goodness the man is like a hypocrite among hypocrites0.89
00:11:36.860the right the right honorable prime minister mr speaker there is a chance to build with0.98
00:11:48.000canadian steel it's called the pacific link pipeline the leader of the don't worry i might
00:11:53.320be a hypocrite but don't worry when we start building this pipeline years later maybe we'll
00:11:58.620use some canadian steel then that's basically what he's saying there we might someday use0.95
00:12:05.220canadian steel so i'm not a hypocrite because in seven years when we actually start putting the
00:12:09.160thing in the ground maybe it will have been built with canadian steel oh wow oh oh i can't believe
00:12:15.140he's so generous to us today opposition might be sleeping then he might be in the ground but
00:12:20.320we're putting canadian steel in the ground with the pacific link pipeline the workers of stelco
00:12:26.680deserve better from their american-owned parent who made representations this government will
00:12:32.820He's going to try and blame the American Stelco owners for siding against Canadians.
00:12:42.960I'm sorry, Stelco wouldn't be laying people off if there was ready-made work in Canada to provide steel to these projects.
00:12:50.780But they gave China the permit and the contract to provide steel to LNG2 and all this stuff.
00:12:56.400And so Stelco has got nothing to do because the Canadian government has basically ruined the steel industry despite prices should literally be going down right now in terms of steel.
00:13:07.100And instead of like giving more projects for that steel to go to so that companies can maintain the prices they have, they're doing like weird restrictionist type policies where they're just subsidizing the companies to make less steel.
00:13:19.820and so like but then they're not even using that steel to build anything and manufacturers of steel
00:13:26.560products cannot get affordable canadian steel anymore like it's hard to even describe what's
00:13:31.820going on but it's called socialism and not that can does economy is socialist but when it comes
00:13:38.660to the way the canadian government is managing the steel issue they're managing it like they
00:13:43.020have a steel czar overseeing the industry and trying to set prices and quotas and and trying
00:13:48.620to like basically keep companies from going out of business but all of the tinkering around has
00:13:53.280just made everything so much worse because government sucks at being able to actually
00:13:58.620you know reallocate scarcity they don't know how to deal with scarce resources and keep them
00:14:03.940affordable the honorable leader of the opposition yeah of course they deserve better from their
00:14:12.620american owner canadians deserve better than a prime minister who sends their tax dollars down
00:14:17.640to reward those same companies with purchases up 50 percent as a share of government purchases
00:14:24.680and then you've got carney walked into that one again again like his guard is so down here
00:14:29.640he's bumbling into really good singers lng2 it took them 10 years to get it going and those
00:14:36.240steel workers that thought they might have a hope to supply the the bones of that project
00:14:42.820learn that the Prime Minister has sold them out and granted a permit for that steel to come from China.
00:14:50.020Why won't he put Canadians first with Canadian Steel and Canadian Project?
00:15:00.280Mr. Speaker, 15,000 tonnes of Canadian steel and coastal gas length for LNG2.
00:15:07.980Mr. Speaker, LNG 2 approved in less than two years from the start of LNG 1.
00:15:14.820Mr. Speaker, the leader of the opposition, all the members of his party have a chance to stand up for Bill C-39 to get Canada building strong right across this structure.
00:15:25.440That was such a limp ending for Mark Carney.
00:15:30.020Again, couldn't actually defend what he had done.
00:15:37.500You didn't approve anything in record time. You only approved it in record time if you get to pick when the timeline starts and when the approval was granted. Oh, I decided I was going to do it on a Tuesday, and then I did it on Wednesday. Ergo, it was super fast. It only took a day. It's like, yeah, but it's been waiting there for years. So it was not fast. It was not record fast. And that was not a counter to anything Polly have said.
00:15:59.940again how pathetic is it that he just didn't assume this was going to come up in question
00:16:04.660period the fact that he's massively increasing american contracts he's allowing china chinese0.74
00:16:09.920steel to be dumped on our economy it's being used for the major projects when we're supposed to be
00:16:13.680buying canadian what the heck like there's other things going on other committees where the canadian
00:16:19.220government's also going to be apparently engaging in data sharing with the chinese communist party
00:16:24.300it's like oh my goodness can we who could guess where carny's bread is being buttered right now
00:16:29.840because he's been bending over backwards, even in trade negotiations with the Americans,
00:16:34.660not to please Canadians, not to please the Americans even, but to please China.
