Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister and deputy minister, we appreciate your presence here today. Mr. Minister, about 40 or so days ago the Prime Minister announced support to Ford of Canada to create and maintain almost 800 jobs for Canadian workers. That was through the innovation fund and you mentioned it in your comments today. Yesterday Mike Moran, who is the spokesperson for Ford in the United States, went on the record to say that 600 Canadian jobs would be phased out. Is that frustrating to you, Minister, that you put in place programming only to find out that it has changed within a very short period of time?
