If I may, again, what we're trying to dig down into is whether your government instituted a clause in one of these three agreements that guaranteed the broader Stellantis footprint in Canada, including the 3,000 jobs that were just laid off. You know this.
What I am trying to drill down to is whether there was something in the contracts. There isn't one in here. Brampton isn't even mentioned in the contract for the NextStar agreement. I understand they can be linked. There is a clause—14.1(g)—that may link it to the Brampton facility, but you're not committing to whether there was a clear jobs guarantee in there. Your argument is, “No, we're covered. We're suing them on clear grounds”, but you're not telling us, in fact, if there were 3,000 jobs guaranteed in that SIF agreement.
That's the real question I have, because there were significant commitments, as you know, of up to $15 billion in partnership with Ontario. We also have another billion dollars of capital investment for the retooling of Brampton and Windsor under the SIF agreement. I am trying to nail down if there is a jobs requirement for Brampton. There is a further $500 million in this SIF agreement for NextStar. We're talking about billions and billions of dollars.
In our estimation, in the historic investment that your government has made, surely there should be an explicit Canada-wide jobs guarantee, but we're splitting hairs here. You're being quite evasive about the numbers and whether there is a real guarantee. It should be explicit if you're going to give an historic amount of taxpayer funding.
In fact, just to wrap up, I will say this: I am not sure if you understand the magnitude of the money you've committed, but I did some math and the number of two-parent, full-time working households that had to work for your government to provide just those contributions to Stellantis—
