Yes, that's why I printed this paper. Unfortunately, there was no option. If free trade is allowed, then we don't need an Indian plant. We could sort and grade here in Canada. Shipping one container of mixed used clothing is $10,000 to $15,000, depending on what we load in it.
If India opens the gate, then we will ship the graded clothes from Canada. We could grade in Toronto and Vancouver. The graded container would be $30,000 to $40,000, at a minimum. If you're shipping 10,000 or 20,000 containers to India, then we don't need them to create jobs. We will create jobs here in Canada. Even right now, today, I have not closed down my plants. I have 17 plants in Vancouver, and I just started in Toronto. I'm keeping these plants alive, because you never know. Tomorrow, India may shut the doors. They can change the policies overnight. I want to keep my plants here. I'm keeping everything in my hands: Africa, India, Canada. I don't want to shut down my Canadian facilities.
