I appreciate the comments, but respectfully, I don't think the intention of the original motion was about the $15 billion. It was really about local jobs. Is that right? I think that's what the 106(4) meeting was about.
Mr. Perkins, you already know those numbers, based on what's been clearly identified by the minister. Isn't it really just a verification that those numbers are in this contract?
To me, we're saying, “No problem; we can provide a lightly redacted version of it in camera for you to verify.” That's contrary to what you've claimed, which is that somehow the minister is not being forthright and transparent about this. If it's really about transparency, isn't it about seeing whether those numbers we've been saying publicly are actually reflected in the contract?
As per the minister's comments, I have the article in which the minister said very clearly that under Prime Minister Harper, a free trade agreement was negotiated with South Korea. It has reciprocity as well. It allows for South Korean workers to come to Canada. The Conservatives set it up, and now you're concerned about local jobs.
