First of all, I couldn't agree with you more. As far as intellectual property goes, yes, taxpayers are holding the bag on that one. There seems to be a misunderstanding or a misinterpretation of the global economy in China. I don't think most people understand that China is not purchasing our goods. The deficit shows that. China purchased $7.1 billion from Canada, and that was in raw materials only. We spent $29.5 billion on goods from China.
China is buying our raw materials to make product to sell back to us that we used to make. This way of thinking has to stop. We have to work together, Canada and the United States, because we're both in the same boat. As someone said earlier, we're fighting a war. Yes, we are. In this industry we are. We somehow have to work together to come up with a common plan that is going to slow this influx of goods into this country with very little leaving it. We're not manufacturing goods for China to purchase. They don't want them. It's as simple as that.
