I'll directly point it to the motion, Mr. Chair.
The Prime Minister said that he would be putting these high tariffs on Chinese steel in order to help groups like Algoma. He actually said this when he was in Sault Ste. Marie. I'm sure many of the workers were heartened by it. If we do not have the Minister of Public Safety come in here and tell us whether he will recommend, through a memorandum to cabinet, a remission order...essentially, if it's his recommendation that these B.C. ferries come into this country essentially tariff-free, now that Canadian taxpayer dollars are going out of this country. In fact, the Chinese subsidized their steel and whatnot, then we're bringing it in, essentially undercutting the tariffs that the Prime Minister said were there to protect Canadians.
We need to have the Minister of Public Safety come to this committee and tell us where he is at on forced labour, on child labour, on the issue of compliance with that regime, in terms of what his thoughts are, and if he has thoughts, Maybe he hasn't thought of them yet, Mr. Chair.
I will say this: I've had ministers come to this committee. I remember when I asked Minister LeBlanc about whether he understood that Bill C-5 would give him tremendous powers—tremendous powers, Mr. Chair, that he has yet to use.
