And that knowledge is especially useful now in the service of Canadians when we must build a new economy and create new trading relationships. Let me tell you something else that we know that Pierre Poliev doesn't. We know that markets don't have values, people do. And we know, we know as Liberals, that it's our job, our job to make markets, to make the economy work for all Canadians. These are the most powerful tool we've ever invented. They can find solutions to our greatest problems and And when the private sector, when the markets are governed well, they deliver great jobs and stronger

growth faster than anything. But markets are also indifferent to human suffering and they are blind to our greatest needs. So when they're not governed well, or not at all, they will deliver enormous wealth for the lucky few and hard times for the rest. And in this crisis, in this crisis we must help those who are hit hardest by the American tariffs while we build our strength here at home. That's the right thing to do. That's the fair thing to do. That is the Canadian thing to do.

That is what makes us strong. CHEERING APPLAUSE So... So Donald Trump thinks, thinks, he can weaken us with his plan to divide and conquer. Pierre Poiliev's plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered. Because a person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him not stand up to him. Pierre Poliev's slogans are not solutions. His anger is in action. His division is in strength. Division won't win a trade war. Division won't pay the rent or the mortgage.

Division won't bring down the price of groceries. Division won't make Canada strong. This is where negative politics and division and anger takes us. Half of the US fears the other half. They're wary of each other. We can't allow such a situation to occur here in Canada. Les Américains, les Américains deviennent de plus en plus divisive, and this will weaken them. And we will win this fight

if we are united and strong. Yes, we might disagree over policy. We might disagree over hockey. You can support the Oilers in Ottawa. That's possible. It's a free country after all. But when it comes to Canada, we're all on the same side. Let's choose to be strong. Canada strong. I've learned a few things from long experience in crises.

And the first is that plan beats no plan.
