Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Norejko, I want to say that I feel your pain. It seems that this government has never met an industry that they didn't want to kill. They brought in a very political, partisan tax that penalizes your industry. They didn't have an economic impact statement until we forced them to come up with one, and it was a sham of an economic impact statement. It talked about losses in the aerospace industry of $2 million to $4 million and maybe 20 jobs. We now know, based on your testimony, that it's far worse than that.
I'm going to give you an opportunity to talk about the actual economic impact. I also want to note that we had Mike Mueller at this very committee back in the spring, and he said many of the same things that you've said.
I also want to point out that my riding has a major footprint for the aerospace industry. In my riding we have Magellan, StandardAero, Boeing, the Winnipeg airport and others, so I'm hearing this directly from my constituents as well.
Could you comment on a couple of things? What is the actual job loss in your estimate as a direct result of the carbon tax? Also, what was the reduction in the number of airplanes that could have been sold, had the tax not been in place?
