Thank you, Chair.
I guess one of the conundrums of being Canadian right now is that you want the best-paid jobs and a standard of living, but you also want to pay the lowest prices for all of your products. So while Canadians want manufacturing to be able to provide them with the standard of living we've become accustomed to, there is also the prospect and problem of those who will seek the lowest price at any cost, which of course becomes a bit of an irony for some people. The challenge for us, as legislators, is that we play a very small role in terms of the instruments we might be able to provide to offset that.
How difficult a task is it to try to inform Canadians that while they may want the best or lowest price for things, it may be a self-defeating prophecy? That's not a philosophical question.
