François-Philippe Champagne: “We’ve done our part.”

We will meet the moment together and as the prime minister has said, we will support our workers, our businesses, and our industry with whatever it takes for as long as it takes.

We don’t want any escalation, but at the same time, we have been clear from the get-go we’re going to stand up for Canadian industry, Canadian workers and Canadian businesses.

When the United States of America asked too much and offered too little, we made a choice—we chose Canada.

We made the update because I think that was the right thing to do in the interest of Canada.
