Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank everyone for being here today.
As was stated, I'm not a usual part of this committee. I'm the MP for Oshawa, which is the home of GM Canada. I have to tell you, the auto industry is hugely important not only to me, but to my riding and my constituents. I have to tell you, my constituents are worried about their jobs, their pensions, and their futures.
Mr. Jennings, you mentioned in your opening that our government's actions not only saved jobs in my community in Oshawa but the entire automotive footprint in Canada. I was wondering if you could elaborate a little bit more about what the outcome would have been if the government had chosen not to work with the auto industry at this troubled time.
