Poilievre Calls for Parliament to Reconvene Over Failed Canada-US Trade Deal

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to reconvene Parliament over the failure to secure a trade deal with the US. In a letter to the prime minister, Poilievre argues that Canadians must see the full details of the abandoned deal and that parliament should hold the government accountable for its actions.

Poilievre points out that the failure to secure a durable trade agreement threatens deeper economic pain on top of a decade of rising costs and zero economic growth in the Canadian economy. He also criticizes the prime minister's decision to impose dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs, which will put further economic pressure on Canadians who are already hurting.

The leader of the official opposition is also seeking transparency on the impact of tariffs on Canadian jobs and industry, particularly in sectors such as steel, aluminum, lumber, and autos. He wants parliament to have the opportunity to confront these issues and hold the government accountable for its actions.
