Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Right away I'd like to put a few things into perspective. I didn't find the parliamentary secretary's arguments very appropriate earlier. He told you to use the funds to reinvest in GM, when in fact he is having trouble convincing his fellow Canadians. He needs to be reminded that he voted to give himself $3 billion that he plans to spend as he sees fit. So then, he shouldn't be preaching to you about how you should be spending your money or about what you should be doing with these funds.
That being said, Mr. Chair, it amounts to $1,200 per vehicle that will have to come from the workers' salaries. Even if the price of a vehicle was reduced by $1,200, that vehicle wouldn't necessarily sell better or faster. The parliamentary secretary's argument doesn't fly.
Will the concessions that you have made really result in lower production costs? Are you satisfied with the guarantees that the employer has given you further to the concessions made to GM?
