Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Just to be clear, Minister, the members of the industry committee do not have an unredacted copy of the contract. A redacted version of the contract was given to members at the OGGO committee after weeks of fighting to get a copy of it, but I am glad to hear that you are now familiar with the clauses in the contract, because we heard at OGGO, in fact, that you hadn't read the entire contract when it was signed.
What I want to talk about specifically right away is section 6.3 of SIF agreement 813-816251, which I hope you're familiar with. Also, to be also clear, I want to have your answers, not the answers of the people you brought with you, because ministerial responsibility ultimately rests with you.
Section 6.3.1, to create and maintain high-skilled jobs in Ontario, says that the recipient shall maintain an average of 4,475 FTEs in Canada for the work phase, and that the recipient shall maintain an annual average of 4,475 FTEs in Canada for the benefits phase.
Are you aware of how many employees Stellantis employed when you signed this contract and you got this jobs guarantee?
