Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resumed his summer political tour in Quebec on Friday after a Costa Rica holiday, making an infrastructure announcement in Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Que., announcing $40 million in funding for a new fishers' wharf in the area.

Trudeau was also asked about a potential trip to Taiwan that a group of Parliamentarians is seeking funding for. This comes following U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's controversial trip, which prompted China to stage military drills near Taiwan.

"Canada has a longstanding position around China and Taiwan that we will ensure to respect," he said. "China's belligerence around this and their position around this, of course as it has been for a while, is troubling."

Trudeau added the federal government will ensure the group of lawmakers making the decision to travel will do so with consideration of potential consequences.

Minister of National Revenue Diane Lebouthillier was also in attendance. Trudeau’s office said he is the first prime minister in two decades to visit the small archipelago in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
