Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to my colleagues Mr. Fergus, Mr. Deltell, Mr. Liepert, and Mr. Dusseault for their prior comments.
I've worked for almost 25 years for major corporations, both domestically and internationally, where decisions were made that impacted the day-to-day lives of families, the day-to-day lives of individuals, where things happened, and you looked at that and said, “We need corporate responsibility.”
I was very proud of our Prime Minister when he went over to Hamburg, Germany, and he gave a discussion and a speech on corporate responsibility and ensuring that the middle class gets ahead, ensuring that the middle class has good jobs, good wages, and good benefits. I'm proud of a government that continues to work on that track. I look at the investment that we are making in Canadians from coast to coast to coast in many industries, including automotive—Ford. The Conservative government invested in GM and what was Daimler Chrysler at the time, and you now have FCA.
