Thank you very much.
I'll be sharing my time with Chandra.
I wanted to make a statement picking up on what the NDP member said, that this issue has been going on for quite some time and the Conservatives are acting like Harper saved a bunch of jobs. From my personal experience in my backyard, St. Marys Paper was closed when Stephen Harper was Prime Minister. White River was shuttered.
When a sawmill closes.... I was a city councillor and I also worked for the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, and we used to have these things called labour adjustment community adjustments. The people who led that would make the point that when someone loses their job in small-town Canada—say, at a sawmill that closed while Harper was Prime Minister the two times, in 2007 and 2011—not only do they lose their job, but they lose the equity in their homes, because that is, a lot of times, the proverbial one-horse industry, and when that closes, people also lose the equity. In a large city, it's still terrible when workers lose their jobs, but they can drive to another area easily, whereas someone in White River, which is between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie, can't just drive down the street and pick up another job.
Can you comment on the effects of these job losses throughout the 30-year period, in particular on small-town Canada?
