Mr. Serge Cadieux at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I would like to add that, in 2008, during the automotive crisis, the government decided to invest $13.9 billion in General Motors. And yet General Motors is not a public enterprise. It is a private company. Why was that done? Because the government wanted to keep those jobs in Canada. All governments do that. If you do not see things that way, it comes down to saying that all of the jobs in Canada can be sent offshore because the job can be done in China for $1 an hour. That is not an economic system.
