I have a couple of examples. The softwood lumber deal was presented. One of the characteristics of that deal is an incentive to export logs out of Canada, instead of manufacturing, making paper, furniture. The softwood lumber had not yet been implemented. Northern Quebec and Ontario were seeing mills closing one after another. Complete communities have been destroyed. Close to 200,000 jobs have already been lost. If nothing changes, you can count on another 250,000 jobs gone in the next couple of years.
The economy of Ontario is suffering. We organize workers from hotels, health care, and manufacturing. While some jobs have been created in health care at $11 or $12 an hour, others have been lost in manufacturing at $28 or $30 an hour. Two hundred and ten thousand jobs have been created. If you look at the numbers, it seems that everything is fine. But at the same time, another 200,000 jobs were lost. There is a big difference between having a good job and just having a job. If we leave it to the hand of the market, we don't see any solution coming. It will be the other way around. I support my friend. Catastrophe is what is coming.
