In a sense, Aveos has testified. The company's refusal to be here today indicates to us their unwillingness to explain themselves or to provide clarity as to how they burned through a billion dollars in five years and still went bankrupt.
We are not going to provide Aveos with a bailout; this government will not do that. It has been proposed, it has been rejected, and taxpayers cannot afford it. Frankly, to pull a billion dollars out of the economy to fund such a bailout would kill far more jobs than it would create.
As such, we are going to be voting against this motion.
Thank you.
