Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Minister, earlier you spoke about the $12 billion you will be investing in the automotive sector and the $3.775 billion you will be investing in Chrysler. You will hold 66.7% of its shares, while the Government of Ontario will hold 33%—to hold 2% of Chrysler's shares. Some newspapers said that approximately 8,000 jobs would be at stake in this sector.
In the manufacturing sector, 102,400 jobs were lost in the first quarter of 2009 alone. Can you explain to me the disparity between that $3.775 billion and the $170 million allocated to the entire manufacturing and forest sectors in all of Canada? Can you explain to us why so much is allocated here and why, in a sector that has lost 109,000 jobs, only $170 million is being invested over two years for all of Canada? Also why have you given loan guarantees to the automotive sector and none to the forest sector in Quebec?
