—why was it, when you came down to my riding during the election campaign, that you made an arrangement with the Unifor workers? They actually helped out the two Liberal candidates in my riding and did election campaign work that day.
Essentially, Madam Minister, what you did was promise that you would protect their jobs, and you have failed to deliver. I would suggest that you stabbed those workers in the back for your electoral fortunes. Do you know what? They deserve better than that.
This electric vehicle mandate you had in place is too little, too late for workers in St. Catharines. There used to be 10,000 workers in that community, with three plants going three shifts a day. Now there's a two-million-square-foot facility with fewer than 700 people working there. In fact, after 10 years, I would say this government's position has been one of failure when it comes to the auto sector.
