My comment is on the overall conclusion of the study. I hope nobody is taking offence to my comments. It's just one member's opinion of some of the lost opportunities that we've had and about outstanding witnesses.
I don't sit on the subcommittee as well, but I'd also be interested to know the ratio of Liberal witnesses who attended or were invited, versus Conservative and NDP. There sure weren't too many on my list that were invited, and I'm sure Mr. Masse feels the same way.
Anyway, I won't belabour it any further, other than to say there are some lost opportunities.
The other one I'll mention again is the nuclear association. I understand they're going to send a written submission in. In the province of Ontario, other than the food processing sector and the auto sector, I would challenge if there is any other sector in manufacturing that is larger than the nuclear association and the nuclear industry. For them to not have a chance to come back and appear and provide the full input is unfortunate.
Maybe they had no interest. I don't know. Regardless, not hearing from people like this.... It's a huge industry. It's a huge growth industry. There are tens of thousands of employees in this sector in the province of Ontario—I'll just speak for the province of Ontario—and they're all good-paying jobs. The university sector as well as the colleges have come on board and are working with the nuclear industry to start to rejuvenate the sector.
It's a lost opportunity on the study. I'm sure that if we have a supplemental opinion to the report, we'll attach some of the missing pieces in there.
