So the loss of jobs and the weakness in this sector are related in large part to the manufacturing side of things. Perhaps we can agree on that.
I'm also concerned about the notion that Canadian production focuses more on the export of raw materials than on value-added products. But I think it's the value-added market that creates good-quality jobs in this country.
How can we make sure, in a free trade agreement, that both sides of the sector are stimulated?
