Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses. I appreciated your testimony.
I'd like to direct my questions to Linamar. Certainly, the testimony you provided for committee here today would make you an outlier in terms of the things we've heard previously at committee. Your numbers are actually quite outstanding.
I do have a few questions, though.
We know that our Prime Minister took the headquarters of Brookfield and moved them to New York, along with 1,000 jobs. Also, we know from reports that Linamar just recently invested $300 million in Aludyne in the United States, in a market with only 4.3% unemployment, whereas you could have left it in Canada, at 7% unemployment, which would have given you access to a greater labour pool.
Can you help me square the round peg?
