Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre speaks with reporters as Canada and the United States work to finalize a trade agreement before a midnight deadline to avoid new tariffs. Poilievre raises concerns about deindustrialization and urges Prime Minister Mark Carney not to accept one-sided tariffs on steel, aluminum and other key industries as part of a deal.
