Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My comments are along the same lines as my colleagues who spoke before me. Overall, we are satisfied with the motion.
We must never lose sight of the fact that we represent the public and different groups, whether it be from the standpoint of the economy or of workers. Numerous jobs have been lost in the manufacturing sector. Indeed, conditions in the manufacturing sectors vary from region to region in Canada. While concerns are different as well, the manufacturing sector continues to be the focus.
As members, we have a duty to gather as much information as possible. To date, we have received some information, but MPs need to know what the issues are. We need to find the tools to conduct in-depth studies and to investigate alternative ways of conducting trade with Korea that will not jeopardize the various manufacturing sectors in Canada and Quebec.
