Dominic LeBlanc: “It won’t surprise you that we share the concern of the Americans and other economic partners that we need to do…”

We told them that, for us, that was non-negotiable.

Our core focus is on what we can control: building strength at home, diversifying our partnerships abroad, and building Canada strong for all Canadians.

I'm very, very confident that these decisions, if it's in a referendum or if it's in an election, are made by Canadians who go to polling stations and cast their ballots.

When the U.S. is ready to engage, our government will work in good faith and constructively towards a more secure mutually beneficial trading relationship that fully respects Canadian sovereignty.
