I'm sure you're aware of the advanced technology vehicles manufacturing loan program in the United States. You've asked the people here to do their part, be it the union to make concessions or wage cuts, but in the United states they have a $25 billion aid program for new innovation and technology. Our response to that has been your department's $50 million over five years--$250 million--program. Since the other partners are being asked to do their part, what will be your response?
The United States has $25 billion in that pot already, and we pale in comparison to that response. If you're arguing that people have to do their part and take a wage cut, which is going to affect many families across this country, what is your government going to do to make up the incredible difference between the $25 billion versus the $50 million per year?
