Conservatives say 'action needs to be taken now' against Cleveland-Cliffs

Earlier you mentioned, you know, we should be taking them to court. The Prime Minister was asked that yesterday, and his answer was effectively, well, we're going through the process. And so I'm just curious, when you say we should be taking them to court right now, do you feel as though that process perhaps is not being followed? Or I'm just wondering what else would you have the government do? Yeah, so as a very new politician in Parliament, it's been very clear what kind of brainpower we have here on the Hill. And I just find it hard to believe that after three weeks ago they announced the layoffs, a letter was sent. They sent one back after four days, and now we're giving them another 15 days. Lawyers don't need that kind of time to review an agreement that the Liberals actually crafted and signed. Yes, action needs to be taken now, because the announcements yesterday, they're not going to bring relief for those 350 workers that are sitting at home right now, and they had a terrible Thanksgiving, they're going to have a terrible Christmas. We want action. That's what the workers deserve. Why does the CEO of Stellantis get away with saying the stuff he does? Why does he support tariffs, unjustified tariffs on this country? He's buddies with Trump, and we're sitting and sending around letters, which haven't worked before, as I mentioned with Stellantis. It's time for action. We're a G7 country. We're Canada. We're a strong country, and this shows weakness. Why do you think it's taking so long, then? I mean, I know you're saying, to my colleague's point, If there may have been due diligence that lawyers need to take, why do you think there's been such a delay? I think that's a great question for Minister Joly. They crafted the agreement. I think it was a finance minister that signed off on it. So if we're going by what the government, the Liberals are saying, that they have an ironclad contract, Minister Joly said today not even an act of God could release them from that commitment. Okay, I accept that. Let's go to court. So today, for instance, these things obviously take time to go through the courts. Is there any other measures the government, that you think the government should be doing, to support the workers who have been laid off? We have to enforce contracts. If investors want to come to this country and invest in Canada, support our workers, of course we're going to make those deals. That's exactly what the government should be doing. But when they walk away, and they're bad actors, especially after Stelco just reported the best third quarter they've had since 2024, we have to enforce our contracts. It's just common sense.
