I'd like to clarify something for my colleague Mr. Dreeshen in connection with what he just said.
The amendment concerning aluminum in the free trade agreement was made because some members of the Bloc Québecois had organized a protest in the region, where most of the aluminum comes from. Unfortunately, the Conservative MP from Chicoutimi—Le Fjord did not join in, leading to criticism from various sides.
My colleague said that everyone got together to support the aluminum sector. But one key person was missing, his colleague from Chicoutimi—Le Fjord. At the time, it may well have been preferable for me to do business with Mr. Dreeshen than the member for Chicoutimi—Le Fjord in order to support the aluminum sector.
I just wanted to point that out amicably to my friend Mr. Dreeshen.
