Madam Speaker, I agree with my colleague on one thing. People are suffering in London and that is very sad. We do sympathize with them. However, when we try to make a difference, the members of the NDP want to use this case to play cheap politics on the backs of the workers.
Let us be clear. The NDP invoked the Investment Canada Act today. The plant in London, Ontario has been an American-owned plant since the very beginning, back in the thirties. After that, the plant was sold twice, from an American company to other American companies. Therefore, this is not the issue.
The NDP then talked about tax breaks. I explained very clearly in my speech that it had nothing to do with this. We have to ensure we have good competitiveness in our country and provide a low fiscal regime, which will attract good investment in innovation and in labour training. We will continue down that road.
My colleagues in the NDP want to hike taxes and kill the economy. This is not acceptable. This is not the school of thought from which we come.
