Ottawa, ON – The Hon. Pierre Poilievre, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and the Official Opposition, released the following statement on the Prime Minister’s trip to China:

“Prime Minister Carney must explain how he has gone from saying China was Canada’s ‘biggest security threat’ before the election to announcing a ‘strategic partnership’ with Beijing after the election.

“His agreement will allow 50,000 EVs onto our streets, jeopardizing our security and auto jobs. This follows him breaking his promise to ‘negotiate a win’ and get a deal with the U.S. by last July. 

“Despite giving a billion-dollar taxpayer loan for Beijing to build our ships, there is no guarantee that tariffs on canola and other Canadian goods will be permanently, immediately or completely eliminated. Meanwhile, Canadian pork farmers will still keep paying the 25% tariff.

“It’s time for Canadians to have a government that will put our country first and protect our security, our jobs and our sovereignty.”
