Jacob Mantle gave notice of the following motion:

That the Standing Committee on International Trade report to the House its disappointment that despite a unanimous request by the Committee, the Minister of Industry has failed to appear before it in respect of its study on the forthcoming review of the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA); and that, the Committee recalls its opinion, expressed in its motion of September 18, 2025, which specifically identified the Minister of Industry as a responsible Minister in respect of its study, that the Minister of Industry’s appearance is necessary for the committee to complete its review of the CUSMA, particularly given the critical importance of that agreement to the Canadian economy including those industries for which the Minister of Industry is responsible such as the automotive, forestry, energy, critical minerals, steel, aluminum, and agricultural industries and their workers.

Adam Chambers moved, — That the committee report to the House that it condemns the unjustified American tariffs on the Canadian steel and aluminum industry, and that it calls upon the government to live up to the promise it made in the election to “negotiate a win” for the workers whose livelihoods depend on a good deal for Canada.

It was agreed, — That debate on the motion of Adam Chambers be adjourned to Thursday, November 20, 2025, at the last half hour of the meeting.
