The consumer in Canada will have access to the product that's made in Canada. What's the difference? Wouldn't they buy Canadian product rather than imported product? If I could start up my plant, I'd have available product for them. They don't need to access that quota. I'll make it for them. I'm trying to be compromising: Okay, we'll let some of it come in, but not the vast amount that comes in today that displaces Canadian workers.
If you're talking about the cost of steel in a product, I'm going to give you an example. Everybody says, “Oh, my God; the cost of steel has gone up, and it's a huge problem.” The gentleman from P.E.I. is right. He had a transition period when he bid on a project, and the cost went up. Once he bids on the project with the cost of the product that he goes in with, he's fine. He's competitive, because he's on the same playing field as everybody else.
Steel—typical fabricated steel—is four times the cost of the raw steel itself, so the real extra cost is labour and all the work they do to it. If the raw steel itself goes up by a couple of hundred dollars a tonne in that transition period, is it a problem? At the end of the day, it doesn't make the product uncompetitive.
I don't know the last time the price of a car went down, but the price of steel bounced up and down for decades. You didn't see the price of a car go down because of the price of steel, yet automotive companies will claim that it's killing them. They should stop giving $3,000 rebates per car.
