Illiteracy is an interesting subject. I think where the number comes from—and it's a low number—is that, generally speaking, when you look at economic production around the world, about every $1 billion of increase in exports relates roughly to about 10,000 jobs. That's not Canada-wide, that's worldwide. If you look at that, you would actually have a 120,000 increase in jobs.
However, I do take exception to your comments about the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Mr. Sinclair. Their president said:
FCM welcomes the federal government's commitment to a CETA deal that creates new jobs and opportunities for Canadians while protecting the local decision-making that is the lifeblood of strong, healthy Canadian communities.
These are elected officials. You may disagree with them, respectfully, and that's fine. But to say they're wrong when you're not part of that system, you're not an elected official.... I've sat in on briefings with the Canadian municipalities. They've been very supportive of this deal. They've asked very tough questions. They want to know exactly how the regulatory change will affect them. They want to know about reciprocity. But they're supportive, and to say anything else is false. That's all.
