Thank you, Chair.
Thank you all. It's a fascinating discussion.
Mr. Neumann, I commend you on your passion for the worker. I remember a friend of mine, who was a labour leader as well, said, “Dave, don't forget the working man”, and that's who we have to remember.
Dr. Lee, this is what it's all about, isn't it? I, too, have had the opportunity to travel to China and actually I think it was the chair of the Communist Party who told me, “We have 500 million people making a dollar a day.” They have this drive to move them out.
I don't want to dump on anybody, if you'll pardon the term, but how much of this is of our own doing? I watched a program. I've seen this Swedish guy who just recently died, the professor who does all these graphs with the bubbles. You probably know who I'm talking about. He was talking about how the poor countries are moving forward, and when you see that big bubble, manifested mostly by China, and India, to some degree as well, and how they're trying to push that, how much of this is an equalization across the globe? How much of this is just going to happen?
I don't know how else to get around this, and I know that the steelworkers at this particular point are being affected, maybe more than most others. That's number one. Then I can remember in the 1960s when the buzz was pollution and didn't we, to some degree, close down Hamilton as well? People just didn't want to see that pollution. They didn't want to see all that.
How much of this has just come to a loggerhead?
I wish we had more time because I know you could probably give a lecture on this, and I'd love to attend it, so I'm going to give you a little time.
