I do want to speak on this issue, and I will take this opportunity to speak on this issue, as it impacts my community greatly because we do have a battery plant in my community. We have a battery plant that has created 2,000 jobs for local workers in my community and will create an additional 2,500 permanent jobs for local Canadian workers in my community.
It is important for me to talk about this. Again, Mr. Perkins is persistent in bringing back this motion that has been voted down in the past, so I will be persistent in what I want to say as well.
